Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{32} \pi^2 \mathrm{~cm} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The displacement-time graph shown in the figure is a sine wave, so the equation of displacement, \(x=1 \sin \omega t\) Here, \(\quad T=8 \mathrm{~s}\) (for a complete cycle) Hence, \(\omega=\frac{2 \pi}{T}=\frac{2 \pi}{8}=\frac{\pi}{4} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\) and…
