1.2 Representing the S.H.M.
 

By clicking on next you can see the representation of a body describing an S.H.M. and observe the meaning of the previously mentioned magnitudes.

To make things simpler at the beginning, it is assumed that in this particular case, there is no phase difference, that is φ=0. In this case the equation of the movement takes the form:

y= A · sin (ω·t)
