Fundamentals: SHM

List all formulas : Set A (wrt displacement x)
Set B (wrt time t)
Acceleration is directly proportional to x and is directed opp to displacement is the statement that defines SHM. It also means that force is directly proportional to displacement,x.
The net force must always be directed towards the equilibrium point irrespective of direction of motion.Net force is Zero at equilibrium position and maximum at the maximum displacement(amplitude).
