2. at the extreme position of oscillations

3. for an amplitude of $\mathrm{\mu g}/{\mathrm{\omega }}^2$

4. for an amplitude of $\mathrm{g}/{\mathrm{\mu \omega }}^2$

The figure shows the circular motion of a particle which is at the topmost point on the y-axis at t=0. The radius of the circle is B and the sense of revolution is clockwise.  The time period is indicated in the figure. The simple harmonic motion of the x-projection of the radius vector of the rotating particle P is:

A particle in SHM is described by the displacement function $x\left(t\right)=A \cos (\omega t+\varphi ), \omega =2\pi /T.$ If the initial (t = 0) position of the particle is 1 cm, its initial velocity is $\pi cm s^{-1}$ and its angular frequency is $\pi s^{-1}$, then the amplitude of its motion is:
