  1. Which of the following is an example of simple harmonic motion?
    1. Earth spinning on its axis
    2. Simple pendulum motion
    3. Ball bouncing on floor
    4. Motion of a ceiling fan
Correct Option: B

When a body moves about a mean position in such a way that the acceleration is proportional to the displacement and is always directed towards the mean position, the body is said to execute a simple harmonic motion. The motion of a simple pendulum falls under this category.
