(c) Equation of motion $y = a\cos \omega t$

$\frac{a}{2} = a\cos \omega t$

$\Rightarrow \cos \omega t = \frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \omega t = \frac{\pi }{3}$

$ \Rightarrow \frac{{2\pi t}}{T} = \frac{\pi }{3}$

$\Rightarrow t = \frac{{\frac{\pi }{3} \times T}}{{2\pi }} = \frac{4}{{3 \times 2}} = \frac{2}{3}\sec $

    A block of mass $2\,kg$ is attached with two identical springs of spring constant $20\,N / m$ each. The block is placed on a frictionless surface and the ends of the springs are attached to rigid supports (see figure). When the mass is displaced from its equilibrium position, it executes a simple harmonic motion. The time period of oscillation is $\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{x}}$ in SI unit. The value of $x$ is $..........$
