उत्तर
In SHM y-t graph, zero displacement values correspond to the mean position; where the velocity of the oscillator is maximum.
Whereas the crest and troughs represent extreme positions, where displacement is maximum and velocity of the oscillator is minimum and is zero. Hence,
- A, C, E and G are either crests or trough having zero velocity.
- Speed is maximum at mean positions represented by B, D, F, and H paints.
