SPH 100: MECHANICS I
Trending!
In physics we deal with physical quantities which are usually quantified by measuring. The process of measuring involves assigning a number to a physical quantity by comparing it with a standard. The standard quantity is called unit and used to measure the given physical quantity. For instance when we say the length is 5 m, it means the standard used is one meter ( 1 m) and
the length is 5 times of the standard length. A standard adopted as a unit should have the following features:
i) It must be universally acceptable and of reasonable size.
ii) Its magnitude must be definite and definable
iii) Its magnitude should not change with time, temperature and pressure i.e. it should be invariable and
iv) It should be reproducible.

An object attached to a coil spring can exhibit oscillatory motion. Many kinds of oscillatory
motion are sinusoidal in time, or nearly so, and are referred to as simple harmonic motion. Real
systems generally have at least some friction, causing the motion to be damped. The automobile spring shown here has a
shock absorber (yellow) that purposefully dampens the oscillation to make for a smooth ride. When an external sinusoidal force is exerted on a system able to oscillate, resonance occurs if the driving force is at or near the natural frequency of oscillation.
