A mass hanging from a spring with force constant k oscillates vertically with an amplitude A. The MAXIMUM velocity on the mass during this simple harmonic motion is

1. (A)\frac{k}{m} A
2. (B)\frac{m}{k} A
3. (C)\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} A
4. (D)\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} A

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
