Problem

A simple pendulum of length 1.2 m1.2\,\text{m} and a horizontal mass–spring oscillator made of a 0.40 kg0.40\,\text{kg} mass attached to an ideal spring with spring constant 5.0 N m−15.0\,\text{N}\,\text{m}^{-1} are set into small oscillations on Earth. Without performing a detailed calculation, indicate which oscillator has the larger frequency and briefly justify your answer.
