Springs/Shockers are attached to the wheel of the cars to ensure a safe ride to the passengers. The back and forth, repetitive movements of the swing against the restoring force is the simple harmonic motion. Swings in the parks are also the example of simple harmonic motion. Therefore, the motion is oscillatory and is simple harmonic motion. It begins to oscillate about its mean position. When we pull a simple pendulum from its equilibrium position and then release it, it swings in a vertical plane under the influence of gravity. You all must have seen the pendulum in the clocks moving to and fro regularly. It is used to model many real-life situations in our daily life. “Simple harmonic Motion occurs when a particle or object moves back and forth within a stable equilibrium position under the influence of a restoring force proportional to its displacement.” When an object moves to and fro or back and forth along the same line, it is called simple harmonic motion (SHM). Have you seen the pendulum swinging to and fro along the same pathway, these similar back and forth movements are called oscillations.
