As we learnt in

Phase constant -

The constant \delta appearing in eqation x=A\sin \left ( wt+\delta \right ) is called phase constant. It describes initial state.

 

- wherein

This constant depends on the choice of the instant t=0.

 

 

 

:    Given : displacement  x= 2\times 10^{-2}\cos \pi t

Velocity\: \: \nu = \frac{dx}{dt}= -2\times 10^{-2}\pi \sin \pi t

For\: the\: first \: time \: when\: \: \nu = \nu _{max},\sin \pi t= 1

or\: \: \: \sin \pi t= \sin \frac{\pi }{2}\: \: \: \: or\: \: \: \: \: \pi t= \frac{\pi }{2}

or\: \: \: t= \frac{1}{2}\: \: \: \: s= 0.5s

Correct option is 2.
