The displacement of a particle, executing simple harmonic motion with time period 
, is expressed as 
, where 
is the amplitude. The maximum value of potential energy of this oscillator is found at 
. The value of 
is 
.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
2
(2) For SHM with 
, the potential energy is
.
Maximum potential energy occurs when 
, i.e., when 
The first maximum occurs at 
, giving 
.
Since this is given as 
.
We have 
, so 
.
