Answer

It takes 0.0625 seconds.

Work Step by Step

We can find the period of the motion. $T = \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{4.00~Hz} = 0.250~s$ If the object moves from x = 0 to x = -1.80 cm, the object completes one-fourth of a cycle. We can find the time this takes. $t = \frac{T}{4} = \frac{0.250~s}{4} = 0.0625~s$
