★ Question ★

What is mean by SHM?

★ Answer ★

Simple Harmonic Motion or SHM is defined as a motion in which the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the body from its mean position. The direction of this restoring force is always towards the mean position. The acceleration of a particle executing simple harmonic motion is given by, a(t) = -ω² x(t). Here, ω is the angular velocity of the particle.

• It is a special case of oscillation along with straight line between the two extreme points (the path of SHM is a constraint).

• Path of the object needs to be a straight line.

• There will be a restoring force directed towards equilibrium position (or) mean position.

• Mean position in Simple harmonic motion is a stable equilibrium.
