Homework Statement
A ball bearing is placed on a track curved in the vertical plane. The ball bearing is released from a position on the track above the lowest point and it then oscillates with SHM. As the amplitude diminishes does the time period for each oscillation stay the same?
Homework Equations
For SHM of a simple pendulum the time period stays constant as the amplitude diminishes.
T=2∏√(l/g)
The Attempt at a Solution
Is this true for a ball on a curved track.
Is there a formula for this type of SHM?
Any help gratefully received
