- Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM): Simple harmonic motion is a special type of periodic motion or oscillation where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement and acts in the direction opposite to that of displacement.
- Example: Motion of an undamped pendulum, undamped spring-mass system.
Force (F) = - k x
Acceleration (a) = - (k/m) x
Where a is acceleration, x is the displacement of the system from its equilibrium position, m is the mass of the system and k is a constant associated with the system.
EXPLANATION:
- In simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is proportional to the distance from the point of reference and directed towards it. So option 3 is correct.
