Write the force law for $SHM$.
(N/A) In Simple Harmonic Motion $(SHM)$,the restoring force $F$ acting on a particle is directly proportional to its displacement $x$ from the equilibrium position and is always directed towards the equilibrium position.
Mathematically,this is expressed as:
$F = -kx$
Where:
$F$ is the restoring force.
$k$ is the force constant (or spring constant),which is a positive constant.
$x$ is the displacement from the mean position.
The negative sign indicates that the force is always in the direction opposite to the displacement.
