A mass of 2kg is attached to a  spring with constant 8N/m.It is⊛  then displaced to the point x=2.  What time does it take for the block  to travel to the point x=1?  a)40s b)60s c)30s d)20s

x=2cos ωt = 2cos ((√(k/m)) t)  1=2cos ((√(8/2)) t)  ⇒  2t = (π/3)    ⇒   t=(π/6)s   .
$${x}=\mathrm{2cos}\:\omega{t}\:=\:\mathrm{2cos}\:\left(\sqrt{\frac{{k}}{{m}}}\:{t}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{2cos}\:\left(\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{8}}{\mathrm{2}}}\:{t}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\mathrm{2}{t}\:=\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}\:\:\:\:\Rightarrow\:\:\:{t}=\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{6}}{s}\:\:\:. \\ $$
