What is restoring force

Answer
A restoring force is a force that always acts to bring an object back to its original, stable position (called the equilibrium position) after it has been moved away from it.
Think of a spring. If you stretch a spring, it pulls back to its original length. If you compress it, it pushes back. This pull or push is the restoring force. In simple harmonic motion, this force is directly related to how far the object is from its equilibrium position.
