The displacement-time equation of a particle executing $SHM$ is $x = A \sin(\omega t + \phi)$. At time $t = 0$,the position of the particle is $x = A/2$ and it is moving along the negative $x$-direction. Then the phase angle $\phi$ is:

  • A
    $\pi / 6$
  • B
    $\pi / 3$
  • C
    $2\pi / 3$
  • D
    $5\pi / 6$
