| Characteristics of SHM |
|
 It is a motion along a straight line. |
| |
 The body moves back and forth with respect to a mean position. |
| |
 The body returns to a given point in the path with the same velocity after regular intervals of time. |
| |
 The acceleration is directly proportional to its displacement from the mean position and is always directed towards it. |
| |
 The force acting on the body always tries to bring it back to its equilibrium position. |
| |
 The maximum displacements on either side of the equilibrium position are equal. |
