Simple harmonic motion (SHM):
It is a type of oscillatory motion in which the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the body from its mean position.
The energy in simple harmonic motion:
The total energy of a particle executing SHM is the sum of its kinetic and potential energy.
The potential energy is given by the equation:
CALCULATION:
The potential energy at 'a',
The potential energy at 'b',
The potential energy at (a+b),
PE(a+b) = PEa + PEb
