Analyse problems involving simple harmonic motion

A mass is attached to a cable and is hung from a tripod as shown below. The system exhibits simple harmonic motion which is

characterised by the acceleration being proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position.

i) What direction is the acceleration directed towards?

ii)Give one more example of a system that would exhibit simple harmonic motion (provide diagram/image to explain your

example).
