The frequency of the oscillation is determined to be 0.123 Hz.
The number of waves passing through a fixed point in unit time is said to be frequency.
Given that, Mass of the scrap steel = 100 kg
Spring constant k = 60 kN/m
The formula for time period is as follows,
T = 2π √(m/k)
And the relation between time period and frequency is, T = 1/f
f = 1 / [2π √(m/k)] = 1/ [ 2π √(100/60) = 1/ [ 2π * 1.29] = 1/8.105 = 0.123 Hz
Thus, the frequency of oscillation is 0.123 Hz.
