Question

Find the ratio of K.E. and P.E. when a particle performs SHM and is at \( \frac{1}{n} \) times its amplitude from the mean position.

• A. \( n^2 - 1:1 \)
• B. \( 1:n^2 - 1 \)
• C. \( 1:n \)
• D. \( n:1 \)

Hint:

The kinetic and potential energy in SHM are always complementary and their sum remains constant.
