At which position, the restoring force acting on a particle executing linear SHM is maximum

For a particle executing simple harmonic motion, which of the following statements is NOT correct?

  • The total energy of the particle always remains the same.

  • The restoring force is always directed towards a fixed point.

  • The restoring force is maximum at the extreme positions.

  • The acceleration of the particle is maximum at the equilibrium position.

The acceleration of the particle is maximum at the equilibrium position.

Explanation:

The direction of acceleration `prop` - (displacement) is always directed towards the equilibrium position.

Concept: Linear Simple Harmonic Motion (S.H.M.)
