Oscillation and Simple Harmonic Motion, Theory and Formulas

Simple Harmonic Motion is a special type of periodic motion, where the restoring force (F) is directly proportional to the displacement(x) and acts in the opposite direction of displacement. For example, the periodic motion of a pendulum.
