$\mathrm{K}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{up} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{m} \omega^{2}\left(\mathrm{A}^{2}-\mathrm{x}^{2}\right)=\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}} \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{m} \omega^{2} \mathrm{x}^{2}$

that $A^{2}-x^{2}=\frac{x^{2}}{n} \quad$ or $x^{2}\left(1-\frac{1}{n}\right)=A^{2}$

$x=\sqrt{\frac{n}{n+1}} A$
