Given,
m = 0.5 kg
δ = 0.2 cm
According to question,
Spring stiffness = ?
Natural frequency = ?
Spring Stiffness is given by,
$stiffness = (\frac {mg}{δ})$
$stiffness = (\frac {0.5 \times 9.81}{0.2/100})$
$stiffness = 2452.5 N/m$
Frequency is given by,
$F_n = (\frac {1}{2π}) \times (\frac {g}{δ}) $
$F_n = (\frac {1}{2π}) \times (\frac {9.81}{0.2/100\ m}) $
$F_n = 11.14\ Hz\ Ans.$
