(N/A) At $t=0$,$OP$ makes an angle of $45^{\circ} = \pi/4 \text{ rad}$ with the positive $x$-axis. After time $t$,it covers an angle of $\frac{2\pi}{T}t$ in the anticlockwise direction,making an angle of $\left(\frac{2\pi}{T}t + \frac{\pi}{4}\right)$ with the $x$-axis. The projection of $OP$ on the $x$-axis at time $t$ is $x(t) = A \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{T}t + \frac{\pi}{4}\right)$. For $T = 4 \text{ s}$,$x(t) = A \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}t + \frac{\pi}{4}\right)$,which is a $SHM$ of amplitude $A$,period $4 \text{ s}$,and initial phase $\pi/4$.
$(b)$ At $t=0$,$OP$ makes an angle of $90^{\circ} = \pi/2 \text{ rad}$ with the $x$-axis. After time $t$,it covers an angle of $\frac{2\pi}{T}t$ in the clockwise direction,making an angle of $\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{2\pi}{T}t\right)$ with the $x$-axis. The projection of $OP$ on the $x$-axis at time $t$ is $x(t) = B \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{2\pi}{T}t\right) = B \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{T}t\right)$. For $T = 30 \text{ s}$,$x(t) = B \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{15}t\right) = B \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{15}t - \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$,which is a $SHM$ of amplitude $B$,period $30 \text{ s}$,and initial phase $-\pi/2$.
