A trolley of mass m Is fixed to the end of a spring. The spring can be compressed and extended. The spring has a force constant k. The other end of the spring is attached to a vertical wall. The trolley lies on a smooth horizontal table. The trolley oscillates when it is displaced from its equilibrium position. Show that the motion of the oscillating trolley is S.H.M.
