Their is no restoring force acting while it is on mean position so acceleration is zero.

Option A is the correct answer.

It is for instant acceleration. A= w^2 are where r is zero.

Abhishek said:   8 years ago
Acceleration= w^2 y.
y=0.
than acceleration becomes 0.

We know that velocity= differentation(s/t).

And acceleration = differentation(v/t).
since at mean position displacement(s)=0.
then velocity =0 and acc =0.
s=displacement.
v velocity.

Let's understand it as " the mean position".

So, the mean position is at the centre of the pendulum motion. Clearly, at the centre there is no motion and hence, acceleration is zero.

At this position the displacement is maximum.

Please explain it.
