Which of the following equation does not represent a simple harmonic motion

$y = a \sin \omega t$

$y = a \cos \omega t$

$y = a \sin \omega t + b \cos \omega t$

$y = a \tan \omega t$

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

Standard equation of S.H.M. $\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 y}{\mathrm{d} t^2} = - \omega^2 y,$ is not satisfied by $y = a \tan \omega t$ .
