Describe the frequency and period of an object exhibiting SHM.

The period of SHM is related to the angular frequency, ω, of the object’s motion by the following equation: \[T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega} = \dfrac{1}{f}\]

The period of an object-ideal-spring oscillator is given by the equation \[T = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}\]

The period of a simple pendulum displaced by a small angle is given by the equation \[T = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}\]
