Show that the motion of a mass attached to the end of a spring is SHM
Consider a mass "m" attached to the end of an elastic spring. The other end of the spring is fixed
at the a firm support as shown in figure "a". The whole system is placed on a smooth horizontal surface.
If we displace the mass 'm' from its mean position 'O' to point "a" by applying an external force, it is displaced by '+x' to its right, there will be elastic restring force on the mass equal to F in the left side which is applied by the spring.
According to "Hook's Law
F = - Kx ---- (1)
Negative sign indicates that the elastic restoring force is opposite to the displacement.
Where K= Spring Constant
If we release mass 'm' at point 'a', it moves forward to ' O'. At point ' O' it will not stop but moves forward towards point "b" due to inertia and covers the same displacement -x. At point 'b' once again elastic restoring force 'F' acts upon it but now in the right side. In this way it continues its motion
from a to b and then b to a.
According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, force 'F' produces acceleration 'a' in the body which is given by
F = ma ---- (2)
Comparing equation (1) & (2)
ma = -kx
Here k/m is constant term, therefore ,
a = - (Constant)x
or
a a -x
This relation indicates that the acceleration of body attached to the end elastic spring is directly proportional to its displacement. Therefore its motion is Simple Harmonic Motion.

Answer:
51 Ω.
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the equivalent resistance of R₁ and R₃. This can be obtained as follow:
Resistor 1 (R₁) = 40 Ω
Resistor 3 (R₃) = 70.8 Ω
Equivalent Resistance of R₁ and R₃ (R₁ₙ₃) =?
Since the two resistors are in parallel connection, their equivalent can be obtained as follow:
R₁ₙ₃ = R₁ × R₃ / R₁ + R₃
R₁ₙ₃ = 40 × 70.8 / 40 + 70.8
R₁ₙ₃ = 2832 / 110.8
R₁ₙ₃ = 25.6 Ω
Finally, we shall determine the equivalent resistance of the group. This can be obtained as follow:
Equivalent Resistance of R₁ and R₃ (R₁ₙ₃) = 25.6 Ω
Resistor 2 (R₂) = 25.4 Ω
Equivalent Resistance (Rₑq) =?
Rₑq = R₁ₙ₃ + R₂ (series connection)
Rₑq = 25.6 + 25.4
Rₑq = 51 Ω
Therefore, the equivalent resistance of the group is 51 Ω.
