Question: A block suspended from the ceiling by a spring oscillates in simple harmonic motion between the positions Xmin and Xmax of an X axis, positive

A block suspended from the ceiling by a spring oscillates in simple harmonic motion between the positions Xmin and Xmax of an X axis, positive is downwards. At t=0, the block is moving downwards and is close to the positive Xmax position. Displacement is given by x(t)= Acos(omega*t + initial phase). what is the value for the initial phase's boundary in radians?
