The maximum velocity of a particle moving with simple harmonic motion is

(a) ω

(b) ωr

(c) ω^2r

(d) ω/r

The question was posed to me at a job interview.

The doubt is from Velocity and Acceleration of a Particle Moving with Simple Harmonic Motion in chapter Simple Harmonic Motion of Machine Kinematics

Correct option is (b) ωr

For explanation I would say: The velocity of a moving body with simple harmonic motion at any instant is given by

               v = ω√r^2 – x^2

The velocity is maximum at the mean position i.e. when x = 0.

Hence, v = ωr.
