Equation of $S.H.M. -$

$a=-\frac{d^{2} x}{d t^{2}}=-w^{2} x$

$w=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

$-wherein$

$x=A \sin (w t+\delta)$

$a=-K x$

$ x =x+a$

where $ a=-K(x+a)$

In $ S.H.M $ acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement from the mean position

Also the acceleration is in the opposite direction of displacement
