In mechanics and physics, simple harmonic motion (sometimes abbreviated '') is a special type of periodic motion where the restoring force on the moving object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the object's displacement and acts towards the object's equilibrium position. It results in an oscillation which, if uninhibited by friction or any other dissipation of energy, continues indefinitely. Simple harmonic motion can serve as a mathematical model for a variety of motions, but is typified by the... more
