What is Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)?

Back

SHM is a type of periodic motion where an object oscillates around an equilibrium position, and the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from that position.

Front

How does mass affect the period of a simple pendulum?

Back

The period of a simple pendulum is independent of its mass; doubling the mass does not change the period.
