Given that a pendulum has a mean position as C, and two extreme points A and E.

We have to find the position of kinetic energy.

Here, the total energy is conserved. So, the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is constant.

Potential energy increases with the increase in height.

At the extreme positions, A and E, potential energy are maximum and potential energy is zero at point C.

Also, Kinetic energy is zero is at points A and E.

As energy is conserved, Kinetic energy is maximum at point C and potential energy is zero.
