A particle is executing simple harmonic motion. If the force acting on the particle at a position is $86.6 \%$ of the maximum force on it, then the ratio of its velocity at that point and its maximum velocity is

• A

  $1: \sqrt{3}$
• Correct answer
  B

  $1: 2$
• C

  $\sqrt{3}: 2$
• D

  $1: 3$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
