Definition of Simple Harmonic Motion (SMH)

Simple harmonic motion is an example of periodic motion. A periodic motion is one whose pattern of motion is repeated at regular interval of time.

A body is said to be in Simple Harmonic Motion if it moves along a fixed path such that it acceleration is directly proportional to its displacement from a fixed point and it is also directed toward that fixed point.

Simple harmonic motion can be defined as the motion of a body whose acceleration is always directed towards a fixed point and is proportional to the displacement of the bodies from that point.
