Which of the following conditions is not...

Which of the following conditions is not sufficient for SHM and why?
(i) acceleration`prop` displacement,
(ii) restoring force `prop` displacement.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Condition(i) is not sufficient because it gives no reference of the direction of acceleration, where as in SHM the acceleration is always in a direction opposite to that of the displacement .
