What are the two requirements for a simple harmonic oscillator?
The object vibrates about the equilibrium point and the restoring force is proportional to the displacement
The object moves left to right and the restoring force is proportional to the displacement
The object vibrates about the equilibrium and the restoring force is greater than the displacement
The object moves left to right and the restoring force is greater than the displacement
