- Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM): Simple harmonic motion is a special type of periodic motion or oscillation where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement and acts in the direction opposite to that of displacement.
- Example: Motion of an undamped pendulum, undamped spring-mass system.
The equation of shm is given by:
Y = A Sin (ω t + θ)
Where A is amplitude, ω is the angular frequency, t is time and θ is the initial phase angle
EXPLANATION:
- Oscillation is going back and forth repeatedly between two positions or states. Oscillation can be a periodic or aperiodic motion.
- The motion of a simple pendulum is an example of simple harmonic motion.
