Answer:
Definition
(SHM) is defined Linear simple harmonic
as the linear periodic motion motion ofa
body, in which the force (or acceleration) is always
directed towards the mean position and its magni-
tude is proportional to the displacement from the
mean position.
OR
A particle is said to execute linear SHM if the
particle undergoes oscillations about a point of
stable equilibrium, subject to a linear restoring force
always directed towards that point and whose
magnitude is proportional to the magnitude of the
displacement of the particle from that point.
Examples : The vibrations of the tines (prongs) of a
tuning fork, the oscillations of the needle of a
sewing machine.
