The displacement of a particle in an oscillatory motion at a time $t$ is given by $x = 8 \sin \frac{\pi t}{4} \text{ cm}$. Calculate its displacement in the time interval $t = 0 \text{ s}$ to $t = 2 \text{ s}$. (in $\text{ cm}$)

Out of the following functions representing the motion of a particle,which represent $SHM$?
$(A)\; y = \sin \omega t - \cos \omega t$
$(B)\; y = \sin^3 \omega t$
$(C)\; y = 5 \cos \left( \frac{3\pi}{4} - 3\omega t \right)$
$(D)\; y = 1 + \omega t + \omega^2 t^2$

The displacement of a particle from its mean position (in metre) is given by
$y = 0.2 \sin (10 \pi t + 1.5 \pi) \cos (10 \pi t + 1.5 \pi)$
The motion of the particle is
