प्रश्न
A particle executes simple harmonic motion Let P be a point near the mean position and Q be a point near an extreme. The speed of the particle at P is larger than the speed at Q. Still the particle crosses Pand Q equal number of times in a given time interval. Does it make you unhappy?

उत्तर
No. It does not make me unhappy because the number of times a particle crosses the mean and extreme positions does not depend on the speed of the particle.
