Answer

$238,267.7\space kg$

Work Step by Step

Here we use the equation $T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=2\pi\sqrt {\frac{m}{K}}$ to find the mass. Where, T - oscillation period, m - mass of oscillation, K - spring constant. $T=2\pi\sqrt {\frac{m}{K}}$ $T^{2}=4\pi^{2}\times\frac{m}{K}=\gt\frac{KT^{2}}{4\pi^{2}}=m$ Let's plug known values into this equation. $\frac{0.288\times10^{6}N/m\times(5.715)^{2}}{4\pi^{2}}=m$ $m=238,267.7\space kg$
