The equation of motion of these systems can be solved from a second order homogenous differential equation, and they can be used to characterize more complicated systems through Fourier analysis.
The equation of motion of these systems can be solved from a second order homogenous differential equation, and they can be used to characterize more complicated systems through Fourier analysis. One example is an LC circuit, which consists of an inductor and a capacitor. Unlike the damped and driven varieties of these, the motion of these is always perfectly periodic, and in LC circuits the angular frequency is given by one over the square root of the inductance times the capacitance. FTP, name these systems in which energy is conserved and whose motion can be described in terms of a sine function, such as a pendulum or spring.
