In linear $S.H.M.$, the restoring force acting on particle should always be proportional to the displacement of the particle and directed towards the equilibrium position.
i.e., $F \propto x$
or $F =- bx$ where $b$ is a positive constant.

There is a simple pendulum hanging from the ceiling of a lift. When the lift is stand still, the time period of the pendulum is $T$. If the resultant acceleration becomes $g/4,$ then the new time period of the pendulum is
A simple pendulum is suspended from the roof of a trolley which moves in a horizontal direction with an acceleration $a$, then the time period is given by $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{{g'}}} $, where $g'$ is equal to
A mass $m$ is vertically suspended from a spring of negligible mass; the system oscillates with a frequency $n$. What will be the frequency of the system if a mass $4 m$ is suspended from the same spring
To find the spring constant $(k)$ of a spring experimentally, a student commits $2 \%$ positive error in the measurement of time and $1 \%$ negative error in measurement of mass. The percentage error in determining value of $\mathrm{k}$ is :
Two particles are executing $SHM$ of the same amplitude $A$ and frequency $\omega $ along the $x-$ axis. Their mean position is separated by $X_0$ (where $X_0 > A$ ). If maximum separation between them is $X_0 + 2A$ , then the phase difference between their motion is
A particle of mass $1\, {kg}$ is hanging from a spring of force constant $100\, {Nm}^{-1 .}$ The mass is pulled slightly downward and released so that it executes free simple harmonic motion with time period ${T}$. The time when the kinetic energy and potential energy of the system will become equal, is $\frac{{T}}{{x}}$. The value of ${x}$ is ..... .
Three simple harmonic motions in the same direction having the same amplitude a and same period are superposed. If each differs in phase from the next by ${45^o}$, then
