A block of unknown mass is attached to a light spring of force constant

100\,\text{N m}^{-1}

and allowed to oscillate vertically. (i) The period of oscillation is observed to be

0.60\,\text{s}

. Determine the mass of the block. (ii) What additional mass must be attached to the block so that the new period becomes

1.20\,\text{s}
