Observe the energy in the system in real-time, and vary the amount of friction. Measure the period using the stopwatch or period timer. Use the pendulum to find the value of g on Planet X. Notice the anharmonic behavior at large amplitude.

In our brief treatment, we shall indicate some of the major features of this relationship and how they might be useful. A projection of uniform circular motion undergoes simple harmonic oscillation.

A system that oscillates with SHM is called a simple harmonic oscillator. In simple harmonic motion, the acceleration of the system, and therefore the net force, is proportional to the displacement and acts in the opposite direction of the displacement.

Simple harmonic motion is the motion that a particle exhibits when under the influence of a force of the form given by Hooke's law (named for the 17th century English scientist Robert Hooke): \[F=-k x .\]
