An object of mass $0.5\, \text{kg}$ is executing simple harmonic motion. Its amplitude is $5\, \text{cm}$ and time period $T$ is $0.2\, \text{s}$. What will be the potential energy of the object at an instant $t = \frac{T}{4}\, \text{s}$ starting from the mean position? Assume that the initial phase of the oscillation is zero. (In $\text{J}$)
