The displacement of a simple harmonic motion is given by y(t)=A sin (ωt+φ) where A is amplitude of the oscillation, (ω is the angular frequency and φ is the phase. Let the amplitude of the oscillation be 8 cm and the time period of the oscillation is 24 s. If the displacement at initial time (t=0 s) is 4 cm, then the displacement at t=6 s is
