$A$ particle performing linear $S.H.M.$ has a period of $8 \ s$. At time $t=0$,it is at the mean position. The ratio of the distances travelled by the particle in the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ second is $(\cos 45^{\circ} = 1/\sqrt{2})$.

The displacement of a particle undergoing $SHM$ with time period $T$ is given by $x(t) = x_m \cos(\omega t + \phi)$. The particle is at $x = -x_m$ at time $t = 0$. The particle is at $x = +x_m$ when:

$A$ particle executes $SHM$ with a period of $1.2 \, s$ and an amplitude of $8 \, cm$. Find the time it takes to travel $3 \, cm$ from the positive extremity of its oscillation.

Explain by drawing graphs of displacement $x(t) \to t$,velocity $v(t) \to t$ and acceleration $a(t) \to t$ of $SHM$ for initial phase zero.
