The displacement of a particle in simple harmonic motion in one time period is
Options
A
2A
4A
zero

Solution
zero
Displacement is defined as the distance between the starting and the end point through a straight line. In one complete oscillation, the net displacement is zero as the particle returns to its initial position.
