A simple harmonic oscillator is a solution of the differential equation:\[m\frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}=-kx(t)\]

inorder to find shm, just observe which of the waveforms would keep on going between two peak values. i guess its b beause that is only periodic waveform that creates a circular pathfor its phasor. sinwt-coswt

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

I do not know what definition of "simple harmonic motion" is used in your textbook. If it requires that rest-position is zero, then only a) is the answer. If rest-position can be different from zero, then a) and b) are ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops .. i meant a) :D and posted it as b the answer is sinwt -coswt.. sorry for the confusion

@Vincent-Lyon.Fr thanks for pointing it out :)

How do you know if a , b or both are the answrers , Please explain it to me
