Question
Define linear simple harmonic motion.

Solution
Linear simple harmonic motion (S.H.M.) is defined as the linear periodic motion of a body, in which the restoring force (or acceleration) is always directed towards the mean position and its magnitude is directly proportional to the displacement from the mean position.
