simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) as a Projection of Uniform Circular Motion
ie harmonic motion is the simplest form of vibratory or oscillatory motion. Suppose a particle P (Fig. 2) is
Se, with uniform speed along the circumference of a circle of radius a and
sor. When the particle is at the point P then the foot of the perpendicular
am ftom the particle on the diameter AA’ ofthe circle or the ‘projection’ of|
sare P, is at the point N. When the particle was at B, the projection
ttt the point O. When the particle moving along the circumference reaches
te point A; the projection moving along the diameter also reaches A. When
te particle moving along the circumference reaches the point B' the projection
roving along the diameter reaches from A to O . When the particle goes along
the dreumference from B' to A’, the projection moves along the diameter from
‘dtoA’ and when the particle moves from A’ to B, the projection moves from A’
‘00. Thus, the projection N moves in a straight line to and fro about the point|
€ This straight line motion of the projection N is simple harmonic motion. The
sotim of N from O to.A,, from A to A’ and from A’ to O is called 1 oscillation.
Thus ifa particle is moving with uniform speed along the circumference of a circle, then the straight line motion
cite projection of the particle on the diameter of the circle is called ‘simple harmonic motion’. The circle is called
the reference circle’ of the simple harmonic motion, This is the kinematical definition of simple harmonic motion.
(9.2)
The motion of the projection of the particle on any other diameter of the circle of reference will also be simple
humonic motion, Thus, simple harmonic motion may be defined as the motion of the projection of a particle
