    the rotations of earth about its axis.
    (b) motion of an oscillating mercury column in a U-tube.
    (c) motion of a ball bearing inside a smooth curved bowl, when released from a point slightly above the lower most point.
    (d) general vibrations of a polyatomic molecule about its equilibrium position.
    (b) motion of an oscillating mercury column in a U-tube.
    (c) motion of a ball bearing inside a smooth curved bowl, when released from a point slightly above the lower most point.
    (d) general vibrations of a polyatomic molecule about its equilibrium position.
    Ans : Since the rotation of earth is not to and fro motion about a fixed point, thus it is periodic but not S.H.M.
    (b) It is S.H.M.
    (c) It is S.H.M.
    (d) General vibrations of a polyatomic molecule about its equilibrium position is periodic but non SHM. In fact, it is a result of superposition of SHMs executed by individual vibrations of atoms of the molecule.
