Question
The motion of a torsional pendulum is:
- Periodic.
- Oscillatory.
- Simple harmonic.
- Angular simple harmonic.
✓
Answer
- Periodic.
- Oscillatory.
- Angular simple harmonic.
Because it completes one oscillation in a fixed interval of time and the oscillations are in terms of rotation of the body through some angle.
