A mass m =100 gms is attached at the end of a light spring which oscillates on a frictionless horizontal table with an amplitude equal to 0.16 metre and time period equal to 2 sec. Initially the mass is released from rest at t = 0 and displacement x=−0.16 metre. The expression for the displacement of the mass at any time t is
