Find the period of the simple harmonic motion of a \(20\) gm mass suspended from the same spring. Also, find the amplitude of the oscillation and give formulas for the sine and cosine of the initial phase angle.

A dif...A differential equation is an equation that contains one or more derivatives of an unknown function. The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest derivative that it contains. A differential equation is an ordinary differential equation if it involves an unknown function of only one variable, or a partial differential equation if it involves partial derivatives of a function of more than one variable.  This section introduces basic concepts and definitions.

For most equations that occur in applications, these are polynomials of degree two or less, although the methods that we’ll develop can be extended to the case where the coefficient functions are polynomials of arbitrary degree, or even power series that converge in some circle around the origin in the complex plane.
