In linear $S.H.M.$, the restoring force acting on particle should always be proportional to the displacement of the particle and directed towards the equilibrium position.
i.e., $F \propto x$
or $F =- bx$ where $b$ is a positive constant.

An oscillator of mass $M$ is at rest in its equilibrium position in a potential $V\, = \,\frac{1}{2}\,k{(x - X)^2}.$ A particle of mass $m$ comes from right with speed $u$ and collides completely inelastically with $M$ and sticks to it . This process repeats every time the oscillator crosses its equilibrium position .The amplitude of oscillations after $13$ collisions is: $(M = 10,\, m = 5,\, u = 1,\, k = 1 ).$
A point particle is acted upon by a restoring force $-k x^{3}$. The time-period of oscillation is $T$, when the amplitude is $A$. The time-period for an amplitude $2 A$ will be
A particle performs simple harmonic motion with amplitude $A$. Its speed is trebled at the instant that it is at a distance $\frac{{2A}}{3}$ from equilibrium position. The new amplitude of the motion is
The angular velocities of three bodies in simple harmonic motion are ${\omega _1},\,{\omega _2},\,{\omega _3}$ with their respective amplitudes as ${A_1},\,{A_2},\,{A_3}$. If all the three bodies have same mass and velocity, then
A particle is executing $SHM$ with amplitude $A,$ time period $T,$ maximum acceleration $a_o$ and maximum velocity $v_0.$ Its starts from mean position at $t=0$ and at time $t,$ it has the displacement $A/2,$ acceleration $a$ and velocity $v$ then
A ball suspended by a thread swings in a vertical plane so that its magnitude of acceleration in the extreme position and lowest position are equal. The angle $(\theta)$ of thread deflection in the extreme position will be :
A mass m performs oscillations of period $T$ when hanged by spring of force constant $K$. If spring is cut in two parts and arranged in parallel and same mass is oscillated by them, then the new time period will be
