System: One point particle constrained to move in one dimension. — Interactions: The particle must experience a force (or torque) that attempts to restore it to equilibrium and is directly proportional to its displacement from that equilibrium. |
Introduction to the Model
Description and Assumptions
This model applies to position of a single point particle, or to the angular position of a rigid body, which is constrained to one dimension and experiences a restoring force that is linearly proportional to its displacement from an equilibrium position. This form for the force or torque implies that the equation of motion for the point particle or rigid body will have the form:
