Consider a particle subject to a linear restoring force F=-kx, where k is a constant and x is the position of the particle relative to equilibrium (x-0). Classically, if the particle is displaced from its equilibrium position and released, it oscillates between the points x=-A and x=+A, where A is the amplitude of the motion. Derive an expression for the total energy of the oscillator. Take x=Asinwt
