A. INTRODUCTION
As a model for simple harmonic motion, Picture 1.
consider a block of mass m attached to the Tools Setting
end of a spring, with the block free to move
on a frictionless, horizontal surface . When
the spring is neither stretched nor
compressed, the block is at rest at the
position called the equilibrium position of
the system, which we identify as x = 0. We
know from experience that such a system Picture 2. Tools
oscillates back and forth if disturbed from its
equilibrium position. We can understand the
oscillating motion of the block in Figure 1
qualitatively by first recalling that when the
block is displaced to a position x, the spring
exerts on the block a force that is proportional
to the position and given by Hooke’s law D. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
