Simple Harmonic Oscillator (SHO) • Any situation where the force exerted on a mass is directly proportional to the negative of the object’s position from an equilibrium point is a simple harmonic oscillator. F kx • English: A simple harmonic oscillator is an object that gets pushed toward some point, and the farther the object is from that point, the stronger the force pushing it back.
