For a particle executing S.H.M. the displacement $x$ is given by $x=A \cos \omega t$. Identify the graph which represents the variation of potential energy (P.E.) as a function of time $t$ and displacement $x$.

Question

For a particle executing S.H.M. the displacement x is given by x=A cos ω t . Identify the graph which represents the variation of potential energy (P.E.) as a function of time t and displacement x .
