Question
A particle executes simple harmonic motion. If you are told that its velocity at this instant is zero, can you say what is its displacement? If you are told that its velocity at this instant is maximum, can you say what is its displacement?
✓
Answer
No, to know the displacement we should know the initial position of the particle. If it is said that initial position is mean position then we can answer the above question.
