Values of the acceleration $A$ of a particle moving in simple harmonic motion as a function of its displacement $x$ are given in the table below:
$A \ (mm \ s^{-2})$$16$$8$$0$$-8$$-16$
$x \ (mm)$$-4$$-2$$0$$2$$4$

The period of the motion is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\pi} \ s$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{\pi} \ s$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{2} \ s$
  • D
    $\pi \ s$
