At what displacement is the energy of a simple harmonic oscillation half kinetic and half potential?

<p><math >&nbsp;</math>For SHM, kinetic and potential energies are equal when displacement <math > <mi>x</mi> <mo>=</mo> <mo>±</mo> <mfrac> <mi>A</mi> <msqrt> <mn>2</mn> </msqrt> </mfrac> </math>&nbsp;, where A is the amplitude. At this point, total energy is evenly shared between motion and position-dependent restoring forces.</p>
