harmonic motion of constant amplitude in which the acceleration is proportional and oppositely directed to the displacement of the body from a position of equilibrium :- the projection on any diameter of a point in uniform motion around a circle.

The classic example of this is a mass on a spring, because the more the mass stretches it, the more it feels a tug back towards the middle. A mass on a spring can be vertical, in which case gravity is involved, or horizontal on a smooth tabletop. If you imagine pulling a mass on a spring and then letting go, it will bounce back and forth around an equilibrium position in the middle. Like with all simple harmonic motion, the velocity will be greatest in the middle, whereas the restoring force (and therefore acceleration) will be greatest at the outside edges (at the maximum displacement). Another example of simple harmonic motion is a pendulum, though only if it swings at small angles.

In mechanics and physics, simple harmonic motion is a special type of periodic motion or oscillation motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement and acts in the direction opposite to that of displacement.
