The figure shows the circular motion of a particle. The radius of the circle is $B$. The particle starts at $t=0$ from the positive $y$-axis and moves clockwise. The simple harmonic motion of the $x$-projection of the radius vector of the rotating particle is given by:

  • A
    $x(t) = B \sin \left( \frac{2\pi t}{T} + \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$
  • B
    $x(t) = B \cos \left( \frac{2\pi t}{T} \right)$
  • C
    $x(t) = B \sin \left( \frac{2\pi t}{T} \right)$
  • D
    $x(t) = B \cos \left( \frac{2\pi t}{T} + \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$

Plot the corresponding reference circle for each of the following simple harmonic motions. Indicate the initial $(t = 0)$ position of the particle,the radius of the circle,and the angular speed of the rotating particle. For simplicity,the sense of rotation may be fixed to be anticlockwise in every case: ($x$ is in $cm$ and $t$ is in $s$).
