A mass is stretched 4 centimeters from the equilibrium position of a spring. If the displacement is doubled, what can be concluded about the restoring force?
From Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM), the restoring force is given by:
F = -ω²x
We can see that restoring force is proportional to the displacement, x. So if the displacement x is doubled, then the restoring force will also be doubled.
