The maximum potential in an S.H.M is given by 

12kA2=25

Potential energy of the simple harmonic oscillation at x is given by 

U = 12kx2

At x = A/2, U is

12KA22=254

We know total kinetic energy is given by T = K + U. 

Also, T is equal to the maximum potential energy. 

K+U=25

Therefore, at U = 25/4

K=25254=18.75J
