What practical applications does SHM have?
SHM is foundational in designing clocks, electronic oscillators, sensors, and various other devices that require precise periodic movements or signal generation.
SHM is foundational in designing clocks, electronic oscillators, sensors, and various other devices that require precise periodic movements or signal generation.
The period (T) of SHM is the time it takes to complete one full cycle, and the frequency (f) is the number of cycles per second. These are related by the equations $\boldsymbol{T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}}$ and $\boldsymbol{f = \frac{1}{T}}$
Examples of SHM include the motion of a mass attached to a spring and the swinging of a pendulum in small angular displacements.
While all SHM is oscillatory and periodic, not all oscillatory motions are SHM. SHM is characterized by its sinusoidal motion and unique stability at the equilibrium position.
Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) is a type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement and acts in the direction towards the equilibrium position.
