MCQ
In simple harmonic motion, the force:
- AIs constant in magnitude only.
- BIs constant in direction only.
- CVaries in magnitude as well as in direction.
- DIs constant in both magnitude and direction.
✓
Answer
- Varies in magnitude as well as in direction.
Exlanation:
In SHM, force varies in magnitude as well as in direction. As, for the particle executing SHM, the force subjected to it is always proportional to the displacement of the particle and is directed towards the mean position.
