Question

A spherical solid sphere of mass m is tied to a light inextersible string. It is then  whrited in a horizontal circular plane with constant angular speed then motion of  the solid sphere is

Easy
Solution

In the above case the body has constant velocity. Hence it covers equal distance in  equal intervals of time. This makes the motion periodic, also in a circular path there  is no to and from motion. Hence we conclude that it is periodic but not simple  harmonic
