Detailed Solution

From the graph it is clear that at t = 0, the magnitude of velocity is maximum and negative and v-t gram is a negative cosine graph.

v=-v0cosωt=dxdt

x=-v0ωsinωt

So at t = 0, the particle starts moving to the left from, equilibrium position o.

So at 1, displacement is negative.

At 2, velocity becomes zero for the first time, i.e the particle is at B and displacement is negative.

At 3, velocity is positive ie. points to right, so the particle is somewhere between o and B and acceleration is directed towards 0 ie positive.

At 4 the particle is some where between 0 and A and points towards A. So acceleration is directed towards 0 and negative.
