In mechanics, an object whose position relative to a rest position is given by a generalized cosine or sine function.

Is called a simple harmonic oscillator. Examples of the simple harmonic oscillator are a mass suspended from a spring and a pendulum swinging through a small angle, in the absence of frictional damping forces. When we take damping forces into account, we obtain a damped harmonic oscillator:

 

A mass on a spring is undergoing simple harmonic motion so that its vertical position at time t seconds is given by 

Cm below the rest position.

The frequency of oscillation is defined as the reciprocal of the period. What is the frequency of the oscillation of spring?

 

 

For lunch, you and your friends decide to stop at the nearest deli and have a sandwich made fresh for you with 0.100kg of turkey. The slices of turkey are weighed on a plate of mass 0.400kg placed atop a vertical spring of negligible mass and force constant of 200N/m. The slices of turkey are dropped on the plate all at the same time from a height of 0.250m. They make a totally inelastic collision with the plate and set the scale into vertical simple harmonic motion (SHM). You may assume that the collision time is extremely small. What is the amplitude of oscillations A of the scale after the slices of turkey land on the plate?
