प्रश्न
Which of the following example represent (nearly) simple harmonic motion and which represent periodic but not simple harmonic motion?
The rotation of the earth about its axis.

उत्तर
During its rotation about its axis, earth comes to the same position again and again in equal intervals of time. Hence, it is a periodic motion. However, this motion is not simple harmonic. This is because earth does not have a to and fro motion about its axis.
