Answer

$f$ = 50 Hz

Work Step by Step

Newton's law of motion state that \begin{align*} F = m a_{m}\\ k x_m = m (\omega^{2} x_{m} ) \\ k x_m = m \left( 2\pi f \right)^2 x_{m} \\ k =4 \pi^{2} m f^{2} \end{align*} The frequency will be solved by \begin{gather*} k=k_{r}+k_{l}\\ 4 \pi^{2} m f^{2} = 4 \pi^{2} m f_r^{2} +4 \pi^{2} m f_l^{2}\\ f = \sqrt{f_r^2 + f_l^2 } \end{gather*} Substitute to get $f$ \begin{align*} f &=\sqrt{f_{r}^{2}+f_{l}^{2}} =\sqrt{(30 \mathrm{~Hz})^{2}+(45 \mathrm{~Hz})^{2}} = \boxed{54 \mathrm{~Hz} } \end{align*}
