Solution

The correct option is B 116 s
Let A be the amplitude and ϕ be the phase constant for the oscillation.
From the data given in the question, the displacment equation can be written as
x=A sin (4πt+ϕ) ...(1)
(ω=4π rad/s)
Since at t=0;x=+A
4π(0)+ϕ=π2
ϕ=π2
equation (1) can be written as x=A sin (4πt+π2)=A cos(4πt)
Evidently, A2=A cos(4πt)
4πt=π4
t=116 s
