A particle is in simple harmonic motion with period T.At time t=0 it is halfway between the equilibrium point and an end point of its motion, travelling toward the end point.The next time it is at the same place is:
A)t = T
B)t = T/2
C)t = T/3
D)t = T/4
E)none of the above

In simple harmonic motion, the particle returns to the same position after one complete cycle. Since it starts halfway to the endpoint and moves towards it, it will return to the same position after completing one-third of the cycle, which is T/3.
