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.

An oscillation may create a wave, which is a disturbance that propagates from where it was created. The simplest type of oscillations and waves are related to systems that can be described by Hooke’s law.

(a) The spring is hung from the ceiling and the equilibrium position is marked as yo . (b) A mass is attached to the spring and a new equilibrium position is reached (y 1 = y 0 − Δy) when the force provided by the spring equals the weight of the mass. (c) The free-body diagram of the mass shows the two forces acting on the mass: the weight and the force …
