Simple Harmonic Motion - Pendulums
Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) is a fundamental concept in physics, and one of its prime examples is observed in pendulums. A pendulum, consisting of a mass attached to a fixed point by a string or rod, exhibits a repetitive back-and-forth motion under the influence of gravity. This oscillatory behavior, known as simple harmonic motion, is characterized by a sinusoidal pattern. Understanding the dynamics of pendulums not only unveils the elegance of harmonic motion but also has practical applications in fields ranging from timekeeping devices to seismology.
