As we discussed in concept

Kinetic energy in S.H.M. -

K.E.= \frac{1}{2}mu^{2}\\ \: \: \: = \frac{1}{2}m\left ( A^{2} -x^{2}\right )\omega ^{2}

 

- wherein

K.E.= \frac{1}{2}K\left ( A^{2}-x^{2} \right ) \\K= m\omega ^{2}

 

 K=U

=>\frac{1}{2}mw^{2}(A^{2}-x^{2})=\frac{1}{2}mw^{2}x^{2}

\therefore A^{2}-x^{2}=x^{2}

=> A^{2}=2x^{2}

x=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}

=> x=0.71A
