Given:
Amplitude

We want to find
such that the kinetic energy
is twice the potential energy
.
Using the formulas for kinetic energy and potential energy in SHM:


Since we are considering the same particle, the mass
cancels out. Therefore, we can compare the expressions for
and
:

Simplifying this equation:

Dividing both sides by
:

Taking the square root of both sides:

Substituting the value of
:

Calculating the value:

Converting to centimeters:


Therefore, the distance from the mean position at which the kinetic energy is twice the potential energy is approximately
.
