Here, we look at how this works for systems of an object with mass attached to a vertical spring and an electric circuit containing a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor connected in series. Models such as these can be used to approximate other more complicated situations; e.g., bonds between atoms or molecules are often modeled as springs that vibrate.

    According to Hooke’s law, the restoring force of the spring is proportional to the displacement and acts in the opposite direction from the displacement, so the restoring force is given by \(−k(s+x).\...According to Hooke’s law, the restoring force of the spring is proportional to the displacement and acts in the opposite direction from the displacement, so the restoring force is given by k(s+x). The spring constant is given in pounds per foot in the English system and in newtons per meter in the metric system.

It covers key properties of sinusoidal functions, including amplitude, period, phase shift, and vertical shift. It explains how these properties relate to physical concepts like frequency and angular frequency. Examples, such as modeling the height of a Ferris wheel rider over time, illustrate the application of these models in practical scenarios.
