The total energy of particle performing SHM depends on : -
A
K, a, m
B
K, a
C
K, a, x
D
K, x
Detailed Solution
Total energy of a particle in SHM: $E = \dfrac{1}{2}Ka^2$, where K is the force constant and a the amplitude.
It is the same at every position x (it is shared between KE and PE), so it does not depend on x.
Writing $E = \dfrac{1}{2}m\omega^2a^2$ with $K = m\omega^2$, the mass is already included in K.
So the total energy depends on K and a.
