    In simple harmonic motion maximum velocity is at:

    A)  extreme position

    B)  half of extreme position

    C)  equilibrium position

    D)  between extreme and equilibrium position

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In case of SUM, when motion is considered from the equilibrium position, velocity at an instant t is given by                 \[v=\omega \sqrt{{{A}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}\] At the mean or equilibrium position i.e., when\[y=0\]                 \[v={{v}_{\max }}=\omega \,A\] At the extreme positions, i.e., when \[y=\pm A\]                 \[v={{v}_{\min }}=0\] Hence, velocity is maximum at equilibrium position.
