Which one of the following equations of motion represents simple harmonic motion?

Official previous-year question

Held on 30 Apr 2009 · Verified 9 Jul 2026.

Options

  1. A

    Acceleration =−k0x+k1x2=-\mathrm{k}_0 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{k}_1 \mathrm{x}^2=−k0​x+k1​x2

  2. B

    Acceleration =−k(x+a)=-\mathrm{k}(\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{a})=−k(x+a)

  3. C

    Acceleration =k(x+a)=\mathrm{k}(\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{a})=k(x+a)

  4. D

    Acceleration =kx=\mathrm{kx}=kx where k1k0,k1\mathrm{k}_1 \mathrm{k}_0, \mathrm{k}_1k1​k0​,k1​ and are all positive.
