a linear harmonic oscillator of force constant 2*106n/m and amplitude 0.01m has a total mechanical energy of 160 j.its
(1)maximum p.e. is 160 j
(2)maximum p.e. is 0
(3)maximum p.e. is 100 j
(4)maximum p.e. is 120 j

Dear Student, 
Please find below the solution to the asked query: 
 
The total mechanical energy = 160J
The maximum PE will be 160J at the instant when KE =0
Thus,
option (1) is correct answer.
