Simple harmonic motion

To-and-fro periodic motion in science and engineering

In mechanics and physics, simple harmonic motion is a special type of periodic motion an object experiences by means of a restoring force whose magnitude is directly proportional to the distance of the object from an equilibrium position and acts towards the equilibrium position. It results in an oscillation that is described by a sinusoid which continues indefinitely.
