Since you are sure that it is SHM.
I ll find the Amplitude.



Here you can see in the first expression that acceleration is proportional to -x that's why it is SHM

Dear student,
Please find the attached solution to your problem.
a = -k/m * x + Eq/m
Since, a is directly proportional to – x hence, it is SHM.
 
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards,
Kushagra
