Answer

$t = 0.23~ms$

Work Step by Step

The amplitude of the motion is $6.0~nm$ Note that $2.0~nm$ is $\frac{1}{3}$ of the amplitude. We can find $\theta_1$ when $cos~\theta_1 = \frac{1}{3}$ $\theta_1 = cos^{-1}~\frac{1}{3} = 1.23~rad$ We can find $\theta_2$ when $cos~\theta_2 = -\frac{1}{3}$ $\theta_2 = cos^{-1}~(-\frac{1}{3}) = 1.91~rad$ We can find the phase difference between these two positions: $1.91~rad-1.23~rad = 0.68~rad$ We can find the time required to move between the two displacements: $t = \frac{0.68~rad}{2\pi~rad}~T$ $t = (\frac{0.68~rad}{2\pi~rad})~(\frac{2\pi}{\omega})$ $t = (\frac{0.68~rad}{2\pi~rad})~(\frac{2\pi}{3000~rad/s})$ $t = 0.00023~s$ $t = 0.23~ms$
