    Part of a simple harmonic motion is graphed in the figure, where y is the displacement from the mean position. The correct equation describing this S.H. M. is     

    A) \[y=4\cos (0.6t)\]

    B)        \[y=2\sin \left( \frac{10}{3}t+\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\]

    C) \[y=4\sin \left( \frac{10}{3}t+\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\]         

    D) \[y=2\cos \left( \frac{10}{3}t+\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] From the figure, \[\frac{T}{2}=0.3\pi ,\] \[\therefore \,\,T=0.6\pi \,and\,{{\phi }_{0}}=-\frac{\pi }{2}\] Thus \[y=A\,\sin (\omega t+{{\phi }_{0}})=2\sin \left( \frac{2\pi }{0.6\pi }t+-\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\] \[=2\sin \left( \frac{10t}{3}-\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\].
