Let be the downward displacement from . While the string is taut, its extension is . Resolving downwards,
Simplifying,
Thus the acceleration is proportional to the displacement from and directed towards . This is SHM with
The particle starts from rest at , whose displacement is
This is the amplitude. The minimum extension during this SHM is
Therefore the string never becomes slack, the equation remains valid throughout, and performs only SHM.
