Here are the detailed notes on deriving the equations of force in SHM and the time period in terms of kk and mm, with math formatted in unrendered LaTeX:


1. Force in SHM

The force acting on a particle in SHM is governed by Hooke’s Law. It is directly proportional to the displacement and acts in the opposite direction.

Equation of Force:

From Newton’s second law, the force is:

[math]F = m a[/math]

Using the equation for acceleration in SHM:
[math]a(t) = -\omega^2 x(t)[/math],
we substitute:

[math]F = m \cdot (-\omega^2 x)[/math]

Thus, the force equation becomes:

[math]F = -m \omega^2 x[/math]

Since the restoring force in SHM is also given by:

[math]F = -k x[/math]

Equating the two expressions for force:

[math]-m \omega^2 x = -k x[/math]

Canceling [math]x[/math] (as [math]x \neq 0[/math]):

[math]m \omega^2 = k[/math]

This relates the angular frequency [math]\omega[/math] to the mass [math]m[/math] and spring constant [math]k[/math]:

[math]\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}[/math]


2. Time Period in Terms of k and m

The time period [math]T[/math] is the time taken for one complete oscillation. It is related to angular frequency [math]\omega[/math] by:

[math]\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}[/math]

From the above relation for [math]\omega[/math]:

[math]\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}[/math]

Substituting:

[math]\frac{2\pi}{T} = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}[/math]

Rearranging for [math]T[/math]:

[math]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}[/math]


Final Equations:

  1. Force:
    [math]F = -k x[/math]

[math]F = -m \omega^2 x[/math]

Angular Frequency:

[math]\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}[/math]

Time Period:

[math]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}[/math]
