Which of the following functions represent SHM : sin omega t+ cos 2 omega t

Answer»

Solution :A motion will be SHM if acceleration is directely PROPORTIONAL to its DISPLACEMENT
`a=- omega^(2)y`
`y= sin omegat+cos 2 omegat`
`(dy)/(dt)=omega cos omegat-2 omega sin 2 omegat`
`(d^(2)y)/(dt^(2))=- omega^(2)sin omegat-4omega^(2)cos omegat`
`=- omega^(2)(sin omegat+4 cos omegat)`
`(d^(2)y)/(dt^(2))` not proportional to -y
Hence, Oscillatory but not SHM.
