(N/A) The figure shows the positions of a particle executing $S.H.M.$ at discrete time intervals,where each interval is $\frac{T}{4}$,assuming initial phase $\phi=0$ and $T$ is the period of motion.
For a given $S.H.M.$,if $A$ is the amplitude,the position of a particle at time $t$ is determined by the phase $(\omega t+\phi)$ of the cosine function.
The general equation of $S.H.M.$ is:
$x(t) = A \cos(\omega t + \phi)$
Given $\phi = 0$ and $\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$,the equation becomes:
$x(t) = A \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{T} t\right)$
Now,we can determine the position at different times:
$1$. At $t = 0$: $x(0) = A \cos(0) = +A$
$2$. At $t = \frac{T}{4}$: $x\left(\frac{T}{4}\right) = A \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{T} \cdot \frac{T}{4}\right) = A \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 0$
$3$. At $t = \frac{T}{2}$: $x\left(\frac{T}{2}\right) = A \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{T} \cdot \frac{T}{2}\right) = A \cos(\pi) = -A$
$4$. At $t = \frac{3T}{4}$: $x\left(\frac{3T}{4}\right) = A \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{T} \cdot \frac{3T}{4}\right) = A \cos\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) = 0$
$5$. At $t = T$: $x(T) = A \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{T} \cdot T\right) = A \cos(2\pi) = +A$

Two particles are oscillating along two close parallel straight lines side by side,with the same frequency and amplitudes. They pass each other,moving in opposite directions when their displacement is half of the amplitude. The mean positions of the two particles lie on a straight line perpendicular to the paths of the two particles. The phase difference is
