प्रश्न
The relation between acceleration and displacement of four particles are given below: Which one of the particles is executing simple harmonic motion?
विकल्प
ax = + 2x.
ax = + 2x2.
ax = – 2x2.
ax = – 2x.

उत्तर
ax = – 2x.
Explanation:
In simple harmonic motion, acceleration is proportional and opposite to displacement. Applying the equation of motion
F = ma
a = − ω2x
a ∝− x
Hence − 2x represents SHM.
