What is meant by `S.H.M.` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Simple harmonic motion is the simplest form of oscilllatory motion. This motion arises when the force on the oscillation body is direcly propotional to its displacement from the mean position, which is also the equilibrium position. Further, at any point in its oscillation, this, force is directed towards the mean position.
