SHM acceleration a = -ω²x. Maximum acceleration occurs at:
A. Neither
B. Mean position
C. Both positions
D. Extreme position
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
a ∝ -x; magnitude maximum when |x| maximum (extremes). At mean position x=0 ⇒ a=0. Velocity maximum at mean position. Memory aid: 'SHM: a max at extremes, v max at center'. Oscillation concept frequently tested in competitive exams to verify SHM characteristics understanding.
