Maximum Displacement in Simple Harmonic Motion(SHM) Formulas

Maximum Displacement refers to the furthest distance that a particle or object moves away from its equilibrium position during an oscillatory motion. And is denoted by S_max. Maximum Displacement is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Maximum Displacement is always negative.
