Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) is a type of periodic oscillatory motion in which the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position and acts in the opposite direction.

What is the formula for the period of SHM?

The period (T) of SHM is given by the formula ( T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} ), where m is the mass and k is the spring constant.

What is the relationship between frequency and period in SHM?

The frequency (f) and period (T) of SHM are inversely related, given by the formula ( f = \frac{1}{T} ).
