Two particles are performing simple harmonic motion in a straight line about the same equilibrium point. The amplitude and time period for both particles are same and equal to AAA and TTT, respectively. At time t=0t=0t=0 one particle has displacement AAA while the other one has displacement −A2-\frac{A}{2}−2A​ and they are moving towards each other. If they cross each other at time ttt, then ttt is:
