Problem

A 0.50 kg0.50\,\text{kg} mass is attached to a light spring of force constant 50 N m−150\,\text{N}\,\text{m}^{-1}. The system oscillates with amplitude 8.0 cm8.0\,\text{cm}. Starting from the mean position at t=0t = 0 and moving towards the positive extreme, determine the time taken by the mass to travel from x=+2.0 cmx = +2.0\,\text{cm} to x=+6.0 cmx = +6.0\,\text{cm} for the first time.
