Chapter 17 Oscillations
17-1 Oscillating Systems
Each day we encounter many kinds of oscillatory motion, such as swinging pendulum of a clock, a person bouncing on a trampoline, a vibrating guitar string, and a mass on a spring.
They have common properties:
1. The particle oscillates back and forth about a equilibrium position. The time necessary for one complete cycle (a complete repetition of the motion) is called the period T.
2. No matter what the direction of the displacement,
the force always acts in a direction to restore the
system to its equilibrium position. Such a force is
called a “restoring force(恢复力 )”.
3. The number of cycles per unit time is called the
“frequency” f.

4. The magnitude of the maximum displacement from equilibrium is called the amplitude of the motion.
17-2/3 The simple harmonic oscillator and its motion
1. Simple harmonic motionAn oscillating system which can be described in terms of sine and cosine functionssine and cosine functions is called a “simple harmonic oscillator” and its motion is called “simple harmonic motion”.
2. Equation of motion of the simple harmonic oscillator
Fig 17-5 shows a simple harmonic oscillator, consisting of a spring of force constant K acting on
a body of mass m that slides on a frictionless horizontal surface. The body moves in x direction.

If the disk is rotated in the horizontal (xy)
plane, the reference line op will move
to the OQ, and the wire oo’ will be
twisted. The twisted wire will exert a
restoring torque on the disk, tending to
return the system to its equilibrium.

• The center of oscillation is often also called the “center of percussion ”(撞击中心) .
If an impulsive force in the plane of oscillation acts at the center of oscillation, no effect of this force is felt at the pivot point P.
The point O is called the “center of oscillation” of the physical pendulum.

When a flat body in the shape of an equilateral triangle is suspended similarly through its center of mass, the period is found to be 5.83m.Find the rotational inertia of the triangle about this axis.

For real oscillator, there may be friction, air resistance act on the system, the amplitude will decrease.
