A spring balance has a scale that reads from 0 to 50 kg.The length of the scale is 20 cm.A block of mass #m# is suspended from this balance,when displaced and released,it oscillates with a period 0.5 s. What is the value of #m#?[#g=10 "m" s^(-2)#]

Explanation:
I am guessing that the wording of the question means that the spring stretches from 0 to 20 cm as the weight increases from 0N to 500 N. This means that the spring constant is
The time period of oscillations of a mass
Thus
