What is the difference between period and frequency?

Period: Time for one cycle | Frequency: Cycles per second; they are inversely related.

Compare the restoring force at maximum displacement and equilibrium in SHM.

Max Displacement: Restoring force is maximum | Equilibrium: Restoring force is zero.
