kinetic energy at mean position $=$ total $energy-potential$ energy at mean position$=$

$9 J-5 J=4 J$

kinetic energy at mean position $=\frac{1}{2} m v_{\max }^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} m v_{\max }^{2}=4 J$

$\Rightarrow v_{\max }=\sqrt{\frac{4 \times 2}{2}} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}=2 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

$\Rightarrow A \omega=A \frac{2 \pi}{T}$

$\Rightarrow A \frac{2 \pi}{T}=2 m / s$

$\Rightarrow T=A \pi=0.01 \pi=\frac{\pi}{100} s$
