Options:
  • A $12 \mathrm{~s}$
  • B $2 \mathrm{~s}$
  • C $8 \mathrm{~s}$
  • D $3 \mathrm{~s}$

The correct answer is: $2 \mathrm{~s}$
As the particle starts from the mean position,
$$
\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{A} \sin \omega \mathrm{t}=\mathrm{A} \sin \frac{2 \pi}{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{t}
$$
or
$$
0.1=0.2 \sin \frac{2 \pi}{24} t
$$
or $\quad \sin \frac{\pi}{12} \mathrm{t}=\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \sin \frac{\pi}{12} \mathrm{t}=\sin \frac{\pi}{6}$ or
