    Which of the following relationships between the acceleration a and the displacement x of a particle involve simple harmonic motion?

    -(a) a = 0.7x (b) a = - 200 x2

    (c) a = - 10x (d) a = 100 x3
    Ans : Only (c) i.e., a = - 10x represents SHM. This is because acceleration is proportional and opposite to displacement (x).
