$A$ mass $m = 100 \, g$ is attached at the end of a light spring which oscillates on a frictionless horizontal table with an amplitude equal to $0.16 \, m$ and a time period equal to $2 \, s$. Initially,the mass is released from rest at $t = 0$ and displacement $x = -0.16 \, m$. The expression for the displacement of the mass at any time $t$ is:

  • A
    $x = 0.16 \cos (\pi t)$
  • B
    $x = -0.16 \cos (\pi t)$
  • C
    $x = 0.16 \sin (\pi t + \pi)$
  • D
    $x = -0.16 \sin (\pi t + \pi)$
