In $SHM$,the restoring force is $F = -kx$,where $k$ is the force constant,$x$ is the displacement,and $A$ is the amplitude of motion. Then,the total energy depends upon:

Assertion $(A)$: In $S.H.M$,kinetic and potential energy become equal when the distance is $1/\sqrt{2}$ times its amplitude. Reason $(R)$: The potential energy of a particle executing $S.H.M$ is periodic with time period being maximum at the extreme displacement.

$A$ particle is executing simple harmonic motion $(SHM)$ of amplitude $A$ along the $x$-axis about $x = 0$. When its potential energy $(PE)$ equals kinetic energy $(KE)$,the position of the particle will be
