$A$ spring hangs vertically from the ceiling and a mass is attached to its free end. When the mass is pulled down and released,it oscillates vertically with simple harmonic motion of period $T$. The variation with time $t$ of its distance from the ceiling is as shown. Which statement gives a correct deduction from this graph?

  • A
    The amplitude of the oscillation is $70\ cm$
  • B
    The kinetic energy is maximum at $t = \frac{1}{2}\ T$
  • C
    The restoring force on the mass increases between $t = 0$ and $t = \frac{1}{4}\ T$
  • D
    The speed is maximum at $t = \frac{1}{4}\ T$
