This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Consider the diagram of the spring block system. It is a SHM with amplitude of 5cm about the mean position

Spring constant k=50N/m
Mass =2kg
Angular frequency w=
Y (t)= Asin (wt+ )
Y (0)=Asin (w )
sin =1
y (t)=Asin (wt+ = Acoswt
A=5cm w=5rad/s
Y=5sin5t
