If the potential energy U of a ‘cle i i iti ia y Particle is a function of position (ie changes nom Point (0 point), then a graph may be plotted to ‘ton variation of Potential energy with the position of the particle, Such a Brot 7 pow &8 potential energy curve.* In case, if the particle is cnet U wl be the function of on) long X-axis, the pte will of x-coordinate onl id e fi ima 3 ¢ , and then the force « ‘ve in nature) on the particle will be given by a ) Fig. 5-12 sh aT ae @ ig. 5-12 shows il a motion, The slope (IU Potential energy curve for one dimension@!

This means that the force, acting on the panicte at any point, es fo bring the panicle to the von of lower potential energy y In the Fig. 5.12, at the Points 1 B,C and D, the potential ergy U is” minimum or aximun, the value of dU/dx is tro. Therefore, if a particle ig such a point with zero it will experience no —dU/dx ibrium, . In the figure, B and D are the Fig 5.12 ints corresponding to maximum Potential energy. A. Particle at rest at uch a point will remain at rest. However, ifthe particle is displaced even he slightest distance from this Point the force Foy = -dU/ax will tend 10 push the particle farther away from the equilibrium Position. Hence the points B and D are the positions of unstable equilibrium, In the figure, 4 and C are the Points corresponding to minimum potential energy, A Particle at rest at such @ point will remain at test. If the Partic F ‘onstant in a region, the force (F=—dU/dr), acting ona pa region, is zero. In such a region, if a Particle is displaced from one point to the other, it will remain there without experiencing any restoring force, So we call the region of constant potential energy as the region of neutral 'quilibrium. For example, a book placed on a table anywhere remains in ‘quilibrium, Potential well. Now, let us discuss about the point on near to it, which is of great lergy Up.

Now, after crossing the position A the partic! form, th ards Q and when at Q its total energy becomes in ie poten a © Particle acquires rest position and again the particle is moved towards A by the restoring force. Thus, the particle oscillates with a certain Period 7 between the tuming points P and Q about the point A and is confined in the region between these points. Such a region is called bounded region or potential well and if the particle is limited to this region, it is said to be in bound state. Hence the bounded region is present near a point of stable equilibrium. The difference of potential energy corresponding to the top and the bottom of the potential well is the binding energy for that potential well. If a particle is in a potential well (or sink), it will remain there in the bounded staie in the condition that its total energy E is less than the potential energy corresponding to the top point (e.g. B). The potential energy U=f(x) can be expanded in a Taylor’s series about the point of stable equilibrium Xp iz. dU PU) (x - x0)?

Here, the force acting on the particle is proportional to the displacement and the positive constant C is called the force constant. Actually, this is the case of a harmonic oscillator, for which essentially a parabolic potential function should exist. The case of the harmonic oscillator with a few typical examples will be dealt in detail in chapter 9. In case of the oscillations of small amplitude, the displacement x is small so that higher powers of x are negligible. Thus, from eq. (26) and (27), we have =40? and F= —Cx. Hence, for small amplitude oscillations the potent tial well may be treated as parabolic and the oscillations are simple harmonic in type. IEC), Cy, ... are not zero, the potential tnergy well will not be parabolic and in seneral the oscillations of the system will be : harmonic.

A force is said to be non-conservative, if the work done by that force on Particle that moves between two points depends on the path taken betwen those points. Frictional and viscous forces are the examples of non-conservalitt forces. In case of such forces, if a particle moves from A to B and theo from B to A, the work done around the closed path is not zero, but tht particle itself loses its kinetic energy along both paths, For example, if push a block over a rough table between any two points by various paths Coven, wee oe Pe K+U~ Ew Coenen ial ax+ au oO = E fs vrome By cOREETUATIVE FAME Fe oe a yor!

Fig. 5.17 is given by $.14, Rolling F Rolling friction is the resistance to motion when one surface rolls on the other, eg, rolling of the wheels of a cart on a rod or a railway carriage on stcel rails, Rolling friction, of course, 1s much less than sliding friction for surfaces of the same material. That is why vehicles are provided with wheels. In rolling, an appreciable amount of slipping or sliding of one surface over the other occurs and the frictional resistance to this slipping or sliding, is the cause of rolling friction. 5,15, Stability due to Friction.

Now, if T; and Tz are the readings of the two we balances, then couple exerted on the pulley due to friction (Tz ~ 7;) R, where R is the radius of the pulley. Work done by the machine against the couple = couple x angulat ration and rate of doing work = couple x angular velocity. or power of the machine = (T2 ~ Ty) R x 2nn where n is the number of revolutions performed by the shaft or axde of the pate per ound and hence 2zn is the angular velocity of the shaft.

If a particle moves such that it retraces i intervals of time, its motion is said to be peonie Ene eet equal required to complete one round trip (cycle) of motion, is called pont Now, if a particle in Periodic motion moves back and forth over the same path, we call the motion vibratory or oscillatory. To and fro motion of a pendulum, vibrations of a tuning fork, a mass attached to a spring and atoms in a lattice dre the examples of such motion. We shall sec that the displacement of a particle in periodic motion can always be expressed in terms of sines and cosines. The terms harmonic is applied to the expressions containing these functions, hence periodic motion is often called harmonic motion. ¢ 9.2, Simple Harmonic Motion and Harmonic Oscillator. Simple harmonic motion is a particular type of periodic motion and is very common in nature. A particle is said to execute simple harmonic motion when it vibrates periodically in such a way that at ary instant the restoring force acting on it is proportional to its displacement from a fixed point in its path and is always directed towards that point. A system executing simple harmonic motion is called harmonic oscillator. Let us consider a particle of mass m, executing simple harmonic motion. If the displacement of the particle at any instant ¢ bex , then its acceleration will be d@x/dt”. Now according to the definition of S.H.M., we have : restoring force « — displacement d x a) i n—Sa“-x or maT . “ ar de where C is a constant of a at, proportionality.

If a graph is and.x, it will be a parabola. Thus, for @ harmonic oscillator, U-x curve or 0 -x-e potential energy curve is a parabola and the Fig. 92 force (F=—dU/dx), acting on it” is 8 7 ‘proportional to the displacement in a direction opposite to it. ‘Now let us solve eq.

As the system is conservative (e., no dissipative or frictio cs are acting), the total mechanical energy E(=K + U) must be conserved.
