Q1 of 40 Page 97

The displacement of a particle is represented by the equation

Y = 3 cos


The motion of the particle is


The general equation for simple harmonic equation is given as,



Now comparing this to the given equation we can say that,



Where T is the time period.



Thus, we see option (b) is correct.
