Velocity & Acceleration in SHM

For a particle performing S.H.M. the displacement - time graph is shown.

Figure

For that particle the force - time graph is correctly shown in graph

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. The graph starts at y=0y = 0 and rises, so y=Asin⁡ωty = A\sin\omega t.
  2. Restoring force F=−ky=−kAsin⁡ωtF = -ky = -kA\sin\omega t.
  3. So FF starts at zero and first goes negative, then positive: an inverted sine curve.
  4. So the answer is (c).
