Harmonic oscillator: Applications, Driven harmonic oscillators & Overview

In classical mechanics, a harmonic oscillator is a system that, when displaced from its equilibrium position, experiences a restoring force F proportional to the displacement x: F → = − k x → , {\displaystyle {\vec {F}}=-k{\vec {x}},} where k is a positive constant.
