The variation of displacement with time of a simple harmonic motion $(SHM)$ for a particle of mass $m$ is represented by $y = 2 \sin \left(\frac{\pi t}{2} + \phi\right) \text{ cm}$. The maximum acceleration of the particle is

$A$ particle of mass $0.3 \, kg$ is subjected to a force $F = -kx$ with $k = 15 \, N/m$. What will be its initial acceleration if it is released from a point $20 \, cm$ away from the origin? (in $m/s^2$)
