Solution

The given equation for the position of the particle is x = x0cos(ωt - π/4).

The acceleration of a particle in simple harmonic motion is given by the second derivative of the position with respect to time.

So, we differentiate the given equation twice with respect to time to get the acceleration.

First, differentiate x with respect to time to get velocity:

v = dx/dt = -x0ωsin(ωt - π/4)

Then differentiate v with respect to time to get acceleration:

a = dv/dt = -x0ω^2cos(ωt - π/4)

This can be rewritten as:

a = -ω^2x

Comparing this with the given equation for acceleration a = a0cos(ωt + δ), we can see that a0 = ω^2x0 and δ = -π/4.
