7.2.A—Describe the frequency and period of an object exhibiting SHM

Describe the frequency and period of an object exhibiting SHM.

• The period of SHM is related to the angular frequency, , of the object’s motion by the following equation:
  • i. The period of an object–ideal-spring oscillator is given by the equation
  • ii. The period of a simple pendulum displaced by a small angle is given by the equation
