Question

An object that is in simple harmonic motion is restored to its equilibrium position due to a force that is proportional to which quantity?

tension
velocity
displacement
period

Answer 1

displacement Is the answer
Hope it helps :)

Answer 2

Answer : The force is directly proportional to the displacement.

Explanation :

The general expression for the displacement of the particle that is executing SHM is given by :

`y=A\ sin\omega t`.........(1)

Where,

y is the displacement of the wave

A is the amplitude of the wave

`\omega` is the angular frequency of the wave

t is the time

The force acting on the particle in SHM is given by :

`F=-m\omega^2x`

i.e.

The force is directly proportional to the displacement.

Hence, the correct option is (C) " displacement ".
