Define Sinusoidal or
Harmonic Motion?



This is a quick lesson in physics for all engineers and
Should be passed on to others like them who wonder
About these sort of things.

For non- Engineers:

This is Sinusoidal Motion

Image


But Trained Engineers

Know This As Harmonic Motion

Image



However To My Trained Engineering Eye
This is Classic Sinusoidal & Harmonic Motion?

I think I'm detecting some motion in my pants. I'm not sure exactly, but I think low-frequency harmonic.
