The motion of a particle is described by the equation $a = -bx$,where $a$ is the acceleration,$x$ is the displacement from the equilibrium position,and $b$ is a constant. The periodic time will be

  • A
    $\frac{2 \pi}{b}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 \pi}{\sqrt{b}}$
  • C
    $2 \pi \sqrt{b}$
  • D
    $2 \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{b}}$

The figure shows the circular motion of a particle. The radius of the circle is $B$,the period is $30 \ s$,the sense of revolution is clockwise,and the initial position at $t = 0$ is at an angle of $45^\circ$ (or $\pi/4$ radians) with the positive $y$-axis in the first quadrant. The simple harmonic motion of the $x$-projection of the radius vector of the rotating particle $P$ is:
