By solving ${t_1} = 1$sec (For $y = 4 \,cm$) ${t_2} = 3sec$
So time taken by particle in going from 2 cm to extreme position is ${t_2} - {t_1} = 2sec$.
Hence required ratio will be $\frac{1}{2}$.
$y = A{e^{ - \frac{{bt}}{{2m}}}}\sin (\omega 't + \phi )$
where the symbols have their usual meanings. If a $2\ kg$ mass $(m)$ is attached to a spring of force constant $(K)$ $1250\ N/m$ , the period of the oscillation is $\left( {\pi /12} \right)s$ . The damping constant $‘b’$ has the value. ..... $kg/s$
