Velocity & Acceleration in SHM

A body of mass $0.4$ kg performs simple harmonic motion. It experiences a restoring force of $0.4$ N when its displacement from the mean position is 4 cm. The force constant and magnitude of acceleration respectively are

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

$k = \frac{F}{x} = \frac{0.4}{0.04} = 10$ N/m
$a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{0.4}{0.4} = 1\ \text{m/s}^2$
So the answer is (b) $10$ N/m, $1\ \text{m/s}^2$ .
