# The total energy of a system in SHM is given by \( E \). At what displacement from equilibrium is the kinetic energy equal to the potential energy?

The total energy of a system in SHM is given by \( E \). At what displacement from equilibrium is the kinetic energy equal to the potential energy?

- **A.** When the displacement is \( A/2 \), where \( A \) is the amplitude.
- **B.** At the equilibrium position (zero displacement \( 0 \)).
- **C.** When the displacement is \( A/\sqrt{2} \), where \( A \) is the amplitude.
- **D.** At the maximum displacement (amplitude \( A \)).
