Which demonstrates simple harmonic motion? a player dribbling a basketball a chandelier swinging from the ceiling a lion pacing the length of a cage a spring compressed in a ballpoint pen

The answer is B, since simple harmonic motion means restores the objects equilibruim, the chandelier is the only object that is swinging and restored back to it's equilibruim.

Answer : The correct option is (b).

Explanation :

The type of motion in which the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of a particle form the equilibrium position. This force acts in opposite direction.

x is the displacement

The example that shows the simple harmonic motion is (b) " a chandelier swinging from the ceiling ". This is because a chandelier moves to and fro from its equilibrium position and restores it.
