Simple Physics: What Is Simple Harmonic Motion?

By definition, simple harmonic motion is a motion in which the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the body from its mean position, where the restoring force and the displacement are acting in opposite directions.

Woah, that’s a pretty complicated definition! So, let me give you an example. I’m sure you have played on a swing. Well, that’s the perfect example of simple harmonic motion! So, let’s look at some analogies. The position you start from is the mean position. The maximum distance to which yo
