Simple harmonic motion

Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.

Simple Pendulum

A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.

Oscillation

In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.

A block with a mass of 30.0 kilograms (kg) is held against a spring with a force constant of k = 1.25×105 N/m. The spring is initially compressed 17.5 centimeters (cm) from equilibrium. Then the block is released, setting it into motion. The block initially slides along a frictionless surface, but then it encounters a 1.50 meter long rough patch where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.134. It then slides down a frictionless ramp, which is tilted at an angle of 19.5 degrees and has a length of 2.50 meters. How fast is the block moving when it reaches the bottom of the ramp? Give your answer in meters per second (m/s). Hint: use WNC = ΔK + ΔU.
