How to draw Vector Diagram for Motion of Simple Pendulum as a Simple Harmonic Motion ? - Smarter Techniques Simple pendulum is a heavy particle tied at free end of long suspended string at support. But in practice instead of heavy particle heavy bob is attached. The length of pendulum is the distance between point of support and center of bob. The bob oscillates and performs Simple Harmonic Motion ( S.H.M. ). Fig A represents oscillating simple pendulum. Fig A Consider bob of mass m is attached to string of length L and is oscillating between A and C. Let the pendulum be at an angle Ө from vertical. The weight mg is resolved into two components mgcos Ө as ǁ component and mgsin Ө as ⏊ componen t. mgcos Ө is balanced by tension in sting and mgsin Ө acts as restoring force to bring bob to mean ...
