Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)
1) Define periodic motion
2) SHM
SHM = periodic vibration about an equilibrium point
Amplitude = max displacement

 PHY 107: Physics I
Define the SHM and write the Condition of
SHM
A harmonic/periodic motion of constant amplitude
in which the acceleration is proportional and
oppositely directed to the displacement of the
body from the mean/equilibrium position. The
conditions of SHM are:

1. Motion is periodic
2. Acceleration is proportional to the displacement
3. Acceleration is opposite to the direction of displacement
4. Maximum displacement on both sides of the equilibrium
position is equal to each to other 10
