Question
A particle is fastened at the end of a string and is whirled in a vertical circle with the other end of the string being fixed. The motion of the particle is
Options
periodic
oscillatory
simple harmonic
angular simple harmonic

Solution
periodic
Because the particle completes one rotation in a fixed interval of time but does not oscillate around a mean position.
