The position of a simple harmonic oscillator with period $T$ is $x=A \cos \left(\frac{2 \pi}{T} t\right) .$ The time it takes the oscillator to go from $x=A$ to $x=0$ is (a) $T / 8 ;$ (b) $T / 4 ;$ (c) $T / 2 ;$ (d) $T$.
The position of a simple harmonic oscillator is given by x = (0.4 m) cos(Ď€/2 t) where t is in seconds and m stands for meters. What is the amplitude of the motion?

$\bullet$ If the displacement of an oscillator in SHM is described by the equation $y=(0.25 \mathrm{~m}) \cos [(314 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}) t],$ where $y$ is in meters and $t$ is in seconds, what is the position of the oscillator at (a) $t=0,$ (b) $t=5.0 \mathrm{~s},$ and $(\mathrm{c}) t=15 \mathrm{~s} ?$
