true or false: the motion of a pendulum for which the maximum displacement from equilibrium varies is an example of simple harmonic motion.

Question

irishboy123 · Answer

depends on whose asking

a pendulum is *approximated* by shm because strictly speaking the restorative force is not proportional to displacement.

second, you mention " maximum displacement from equilibrium varies", and not sure what that means....

i'd say yes in the pub, but i'd wonder if asked by a "proper scientist"
