Simple harmonic motion

Position at which the body would come to rest if it were to lose all of its energy refers to

• equilibrium position

• maximum displacement / amplitude

• periodic position

• good position

The number of cycles or oscillation made in one second is defined as

In any system in SHM, the restoring force acting on the mass in the system is proportional to

• the displacement
