The graph shows the variation of displacement of a particle executing S.H.M. with time. We infer from this graph that -

          

(1) The force is zero at time T/8

(2) The velocity is maximum at time T/4

(3) The acceleration is maximum at time T

(4) The P.E. is equal to total energy at time T/4

For a particle executing S.H.M. the displacement x is given by $A \cos \omega t$. Identify the graph which represents the variation of potential energy (P.E.) as a function of time t and displacement x.

(c) II, III         (d) I, IV
