(c) Total energy in $SHM $ $E = \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{a^2}$; (where $a =$ amplitude) 

Potential energy $U = \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}({a^2} - {y^2}) $

$= E - \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{y^2}$ 

When $y = \frac{a}{2}$

$⇒$ $U = E - \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}\left( {\frac{{{a^2}}}{4}} \right)$

$= E - \frac{E}{4} = \frac{{3E}}{4}$

    Two parallel discs are connected by a rigid rod of length $L=0.5 \,m$ centrally. Each disc has a slit oppositely placed as shown in the figure. A beam of neutral atoms are incident on one of the discs axially at different velocities $v$, while the system is rotated at angular speed of $600 \,rev / second$, so that atoms only with a specific velocity emerge at the other end. Calculate the two largest speeds (in metre/second) of the atoms that will emerge at the other end.
