Answer

f=39.6Hz

Work Step by Step

We know that for a single spring $F=-Kx$ for two identical springs, it will be doubled that is $F=-2Kx$ but$F=ma$ so $ma=-2Kx$ also $a=-\omega^2x$ so $m(-\omega^2)x=-2Kx$ or $\omega^2=\frac{2K}{m}$ $\omega=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}$ put the values $\omega=\sqrt{\frac{2\times7580}{0.245}}$ $\omega=248.75$ or $\omega=249 \frac{rad}{s}$ Now to find the frequency, we use the following formula $\omega=2\pi$$f$ or $f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}$ putting the values $f=\frac{249}{6.28}$ $f=39.6Hz$
