MHT CET Physics question

The necessary and sufficient condition for S.H.M. IS

(A)constant period and inertial property
(B)constant acceleration and elasticity property
(C)proportionality between restoring force and displacement from equilibrium position in opposite directionCorrect
(D)periodic and harmonic

Answer: (C)

Solution

SHM requires F = -kx, i.e. a restoring force proportional to displacement and directed opposite to it; constant acceleration (b) is not SHM, and constant
