The figure shows the circular motion of a particle. The radius of the circle is $B$. The particle starts at $t=0$ from the positive $y$-axis and moves clockwise. The simple harmonic motion of the $x$-projection of the radius vector of the rotating particle is given by:

  • A
    $x(t) = B \sin \left( \frac{2\pi t}{T} + \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$
  • B
    $x(t) = B \cos \left( \frac{2\pi t}{T} \right)$
  • C
    $x(t) = B \sin \left( \frac{2\pi t}{T} \right)$
  • D
    $x(t) = B \cos \left( \frac{2\pi t}{T} + \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$
