Displacement x of a particle performing SHM The displacement of a particle is always measured from its mean position The restoring force acting on the particle is given by F kx where we have considered x as the displacement from the equilibrium position or mean position The particle may start its motion from the mean position x 0 extreme position x A or any other position A x A Case I Particle starts from the mean position At t 0 x 0 x A P At t 0 x A At t t X X Displacement x of a particle performing SHM Case II Particle starts from the extreme position At t 0 x A x 0 0 At t t X X At t t3 X X3 Case III General equation of SHM X A At t 0 A x A
