Answer

It takes $~~1.1~ms~~$ to move between $2.0~mm$ and $-2.0~mm$

Work Step by Step

We can find the period: $T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}$ $T = \frac{2\pi}{600~rad/s}$ $T = 0.01047~s$ A displacement of $2.0~mm$ is $\frac{1}{3}$ of the amplitude of $6.0~mm$ We can find the angle $\theta_1$ when $sin(\theta_1) = \frac{1}{3}$: $sin(\theta_1) = \frac{1}{3}$ $\theta_1 = 2.80~rad$ We can find the angle $\theta_2$ when $sin(\theta_2) = -\frac{1}{3}$: $sin(\theta_2) = -\frac{1}{3}$ $\theta_2 = 3.48~rad$ We can find the time it takes to move between $2.0~mm$ and $-2.0~mm$: $t = (\frac{3.48~rad-2.80~rad}{2\pi~rad})(0.01047~s)$ $t = 0.0011~s$ $t = 1.1~ms$ It takes $~~1.1~ms~~$ to move between $2.0~mm$ and $-2.0~mm$
