MHT CET Physics question
A body is said to be in simple linear harmonic motion (S.H.M.) about a fixed point, if A) it moves along a straight line B) it's acceleration is directed towards a fixed point C) The restoring force acting on it, is directly proportional to its displacement and both are oppositely directed. D) the direction of force and displacement varies periodically The correct statements is / are
Answer: (C)
Solution
Linear SHM is motion along a straight line (A) with acceleration directed towards the fixed point (B) under a restoring force that is proportional to the displacement and opposite to it (C); statement D
