Answer 1
Use answer to previous practice problem and the time shifting property.
$ \mathfrak{F}\Bigg(s(t-t_0)\Bigg)=e^{j\omega t_0}\mathfrak{F}\Bigg(x(t)\Bigg) $
Therefore,
$ \chi(\omega)=e^{j\omega \frac{\pi}{12}}2\pi \delta(\omega-2\pi k) $

TA's comments: In the time shift property of the Fourier transform that you provided, it should be $ e^{-j\omega t_0} $ instead. Another thing is that the transform of a cosine should yield only two deltas in the frequency domain.
