the force (F=—dU/dr), acting ona pa

to the other, it will remain there without experiencing any restoring force,
So we call the region of constant potential energy as the region of neutral

between the tuming points P and Q about the point A and is confined in
the region between these points. Such a region is called bounded region
or potential well and if the particle is limited to this region, it is said to be
in bound state. Hence the bounded region is present near a point of
stable equilibrium. The difference of potential energy corresponding to
the top and the bottom of the potential well is the binding energy for that
potential well. If a particle is in a potential well (or sink), it will remain
there in the bounded staie in the condition that its total energy E is less
than the potential energy corresponding to the top point (e.g. B).

acase, if a graph is plotted between U and x, it will represent a
bola ie, the potential well is parabolic in ‘shape. Here, the force
acting on the particle is proportional to the displacement and the positive
constant C is called the force constant. Actually, this is the case of a
harmonic oscillator, for which essentially a parabolic potential function
should exist. The case of the harmonic oscillator with a few typical
examples will be dealt in detail in chapter 9.
In case of the oscillations of small amplitude, the displacement x is
small so that higher powers of x are negligible.
Thus, from eq. (26) and (27), we have
=40? and F= —Cx. Hence, for small
amplitude oscillations the potent tial well may be
treated as parabolic and the oscillations are
simple harmonic in type.

particle itself loses its kinetic energy along both paths, For example, if

Rolling friction is the resistance to motion when one surface rolls on
the other, eg, rolling of the wheels of a cart on a rod or a railway carriage
on stcel rails, Rolling friction, of course, 1s much less than sliding friction
for surfaces of the same material. That is why vehicles are provided with
wheels. In rolling, an appreciable amount of slipping or sliding of one
surface over the other occurs and the frictional resistance to this slipping
or sliding, is the cause of rolling friction.

Now, if a particle in Periodic motion moves back and forth over the same
path, we call the motion vibratory or oscillatory. To and fro motion of a
pendulum, vibrations of a tuning fork, a mass attached to a spring and
atoms in a lattice dre the examples of such motion.
We shall sec that the displacement of a particle in periodic motion
can always be expressed in terms of sines and cosines. The terms
harmonic is applied to the expressions containing these functions, hence
periodic motion is often called harmonic motion.
 
¢ 9.2, Simple Harmonic Motion and Harmonic Oscillator.
Simple harmonic motion is a particular type of periodic motion and is
very common in nature. A particle is said to execute simple harmonic
motion when it vibrates periodically in such a way that at ary instant the
restoring force acting on it is proportional to its displacement from a fixed
point in its path and is always directed towards that point.
A system executing simple harmonic motion is called harmonic
oscillator.
Let us consider a particle of mass m, executing simple harmonic
motion. If the displacement of the particle at any instant ¢ bex , then its
acceleration will be d@x/dt”. Now according to the definition of S.H.M.,
