Problem

13.5 A particle is in linear simple harmonic motion between two points, A and B,10 cm\mathrm{B}, 10 \mathrm{~cm} apart. Take the direction from AA to BB as the positive direction and give the signs of velocity, acceleration and force on the particle when it is (a) at the end A, (b) at the end B , (c) at the mid-point of AB going towards A , (d) at 2 cm away from B going towards A , (e) at 3 cm away from AA going towards BB, and (f) at 4 cm away from BB going towards AA.
