Simple Harmonic Motion - Springs
Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is a fundamental concept in physics, particularly when considering the behavior of springs. When a spring is stretched or compressed from its equilibrium position, it exerts a restoring force that is directly proportional to the displacement. This relationship leads to oscillatory motion characterized by a sinusoidal pattern. Understanding the dynamics of springs undergoing SHM is crucial in various fields, from mechanical engineering to wave theory. By studying the principles governing this motion, we gain insights into the behavior of systems ranging from vibrating strings to pendulums, offering a foundational understanding of dynamic systems in motion.
