Q. The restoring force of SHM is maximum when particle
A) Displacement is maximum
B) Is half way between the mean and extreme position
C) Crosses mean position
D) Is at rest
Explanation
(a) We know that during SHM, the restoring force is proportional to the displacement from equilibrium position. Hence restoring force is maximum when the displacement is maximum at its extreme position
