Problem

Now consider a mass of 450 g suspended on a spring of spring constant 20 Nm−120 \text{ Nm}^{-1} undergoing simple harmonic oscillations. (1) Calculate the time period of the oscillations. (2) If the mass-spring system were to be taken to the moon, where the value of gravitational field strength is 16\frac{1}{6} of that of the Earth, what would its time period be?
