Question

1. Define simple harmonic oscillator? Show that for a simple harmonic oscillator, the
mechanical energy remains constant and is proportional to the square of amplitude​

Answer 1

A simple harmonic oscillator is an oscillator that is neither driven nor damped. It consists of a mass m, which experiences a single force F, which pulls the mass in the direction of the point x = 0 and depends only on the position x of the mass and a constant k.
