Which of the following expressions corresponds to simple harmonic motion along a straight line, where x is the displacement and a, b, c are positive constants?

Options

Aa+b x-c x²
Bb x²
Ca-b x+c x²
D-b x

Correct answer

D. -b x

Step-by-step solution

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 x or F =- bx where b is a positive constant.
