    To show that a simple pendulum executes simple harmonic motion is necessary to assume that:

    A)  the length of pendulum is small

    B)  the mass of pendulum is small

    C)  the amplitude of oscillations is small

    D)  the acceleration due to gravity is small

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     The motion of a simple pendulum will be simple harmonic, when the amplitude of motion is very small. Such that the approximation \[\sin \theta =\theta \]always holds.
