Simple Harmonic Motion - Experiment Information

Definition: 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 opposite to that of displacement.

Examples: Common examples of SHM include pendulum swings and mass-spring systems.

Equation of motion:

Parameters used in equation

• m: mass of the ball in kg
• b: damping factor in Ns/m
• k: spring constant in N/m
• v_o: initial velocity in m/sec
• ω: driven frequency in rad/sec
• F_o:Force in N
• x_o:initial displacement in m
• t: time period in `sec`
• V: mass velocity

Experiment Features:

• Interactive simulation of SHM
• Adjustable amplitude, frequency, and phase
• Real-time graph plotting
• Clear visualization of motion parameters
