प्रश्न
A small creature moves with constant speed in a vertical circle on a bright day. Does its shadow formed by the sun on a horizontal plane move in a sample harmonic motion?

उत्तर
Yes, its shadow on a horizontal plane moves in simple harmonic motion. The projection of a uniform circular motion executes simple harmonic motion along its diameter (which is the shadow on the horizontal plane), with the mean position lying at the centre of the circle.
