Simple Harmonic Motion

Definition: Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) is a type of periodic motion in which an object or a system oscillates back and forth around a stable equilibrium position, following a smooth sinusoidal pattern.

Examples:

  1. The motion of a pendulum is a classic example of simple harmonic motion.
  2. An oscillating spring is another common example that exhibits simple harmonic motion.

In Physics:

In physics, SHM refers to the repetitive movement of a particle or an object along a linear path where the force acting on it is directly proportional to its displacement from the equilibrium position, but in the opposite direction.
