Let angular velocity of the particle executing motion is $\omega$ and when it is at $Q$ makeks and angle $0$ as shown in the diagram.

Clearly, $0=\omega t$

Now, we can write $O R=O Q \cos (90-0)$

$=O Q \sin 0=O Q \sin \omega t$

$=r \sin \omega t|\because O Q=r|$

$\Rightarrow x=r \sin \omega t=B \sin \omega t[\because r=B]$

$B \sin \cdot \frac{2 \pi}{T} t=B \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{30} t\right)$

Clearly, this equation represents $SHM.$
