In simple harmonic motion, the force is always directed towards the:
AMetal support
BMoving platform
CMiddle passage
DMean position
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Mean position
1. The force in this motion is proportional to the displacement.
2. Its sign is opposite to that displacement.
3. Force is always directed towards the mean position.
4. That is why it is called the restoring force.
