The motion of a ball bearing inside a smooth curved bowl, when released from a point slightly above the lower point is a) simple harmonic motion b) non-periodic motion c) periodic motion d) periodic but not SHM
Correct options are A) and B) (a, b) : Let the ball is lifted from A to B inside the smooth bowl and released then it moves B to A then A to C, and comeback to A from C and finally to B always, So motion is periodic just like simple pendulum. Reaction force R(by blow) is
