Assignment 33

Simple harmonic motion and its analysis are introduced.  Problems include rotational kinetic energy and angular momentum.  The text addresses statics.

In this assignment we introduce simple harmonic motion, the motion that results when the net force on a mass is proportional to its displacement from equilibrium, and is directed toward the equilibrium position.

Assigned problems from the Introductory Problem Set provide an introduction to simple harmonic motion.

qa problems focus on rotational kinetic energy and angular momentum.

The text topic is statics, the analysis of forces within extended objects in a state of equilibrium.  Previous assignments should have provided excellent preparation for this text topic.
