Answer

$ y= -\dfrac{1}{4} \sin (\dfrac{2 \pi x}{5})$

Work Step by Step

Amplitude, $ A=-\dfrac{1}{4}$. It is negative because the object is "pulled down". Now, period, $ P=\dfrac{2 \pi}{\omega}=5$ $\implies \omega=\dfrac{2 \pi}{5}$ Hence, the displacement of the particles after $ x $ seconds can be written as: $ y= -\dfrac{1}{4} \sin (\dfrac{2 \pi x}{5})$
