This video is an introduction to simple harmonic motion (SHM).

SHM is a type of periodic motion for which the force that drives it is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. What is the equation that describes this type of motion? The answer and more in this episode.

This first part covers the basics of SHM. The second part (a separate video, Episode #8) covers, amongst other things, some practical applications of SHM.
