$A$ particle performing linear $S.H.M.$ has a period of $8 \ s$. At time $t=0$,it is at the mean position. The ratio of the distances travelled by the particle in the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ second is $(\cos 45^{\circ} = 1/\sqrt{2})$.

In the following table,time is in column-$I$ and the phase of an oscillator starting from the mean position is in column-$II$. Match them appropriately.

The displacement $y(t) = A \sin (\omega t + \phi)$ of a pendulum for $\phi = \frac{2\pi}{3}$ is correctly represented by which of the following graphs?

$A$ particle oscillates in a straight line simple harmonically with a period of $8 \ s$ and an amplitude of $4 \sqrt{2} \ m$. The particle starts from the mean position. The ratio of the distance travelled by it in the $1^{\text{st}}$ second of its motion to that in the $2^{\text{nd}}$ second is: $(\sin 45^{\circ} = 1 / \sqrt{2}, \sin \frac{\pi}{2} = 1)$
