Answer

$t= 17 \times 10^{-4} \,\text{s}$

Work Step by Step

The position $+0.800 x_m$ is the origin position at period $t = 0$. So, we find $\phi$ by \begin{gather*} x=x_{m} \cos (\omega t+\phi) \\ 0.8 x_{m} =x_{m} \cos (0+ \phi) \\ \phi =\cos ^{-1}(0.8)\\ \phi = 0.64\, \mathrm{rad} \end{gather*} And $\omega$ is calcauted by \begin{align*} \omega &=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \\ &=\sqrt{\frac{1500 \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}}{0.055 \mathrm{~kg}}} \\ &=165 \mathrm{~rad/s} \end{align*} Sub with $\phi$ and $x = 0.6 x_{m}$ to get the value of $t$ \begin{gather*} x=x_{m} \cos (\omega t+\phi) \\ 0.6 x_{m}=x_{m} \cos ((165 \mathrm{rad/s} ) t + 0.64 \mathrm{rad} )\\ \cos ^{-1}(0.6) = (165 \mathrm{rad/s} ) t + 0.64 \mathrm{rad} \\ t = 17 \times 10^{-4} \,\text{s} \end{gather*}
