Time taken by particle to move from x $$=$$ $$0$$ (mean$$ $$position) to x $$=$$ $$4$$ (extreme$$ $$position) $$=T4=1.24=0.3sLet$$ t be the time taken by the particle to move from $$x=0$$ to $$x=2cmy=asin$$⁡ωt⇒$$2=4sin$$⁡$$2$$$$π$$Tt⇒$$12=$$$$sin$$⁡$$2$$$$π$$$$1.2t$$⇒π$$6=2$$$$π$$$$1.2t$$⇒$$t=0.1sHence$$ time to move from x $$=$$ $$2$$ to x $$=$$ $$4$$ will be equal to $$0.3$$ $$-$$ $$0.1$$ $$=$$ $$0.2$$ sHence total time to move from x $$=$$ $$2$$ to x $$=$$ $$4$$ and back again $$-2$$ x $$0.2$$ $$=$$ $$0.4$$ $$sec$$

A particle is performing simple harmonic motion along r-axis with amplitude 4 cm and time period 1 .2 sec. The minimum time taken by the particle to move from x=2 cm to x = + 4 cm and back again is given by
