Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(y=a \sin \left[\dfrac{(2 \pi \mathrm{t})}{T}\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The general equation for the displacement of a particle undergoing simple harmonic motion is given by \(y = a \sin(\omega t + \phi)\), where \(\omega\) is the angular frequency and \(t\) is the time. The relationship between angular frequency \(\omega\) and the time period \(T\)…
