Answer

$T = 0.0653~s$

Work Step by Step

We can find an expression for the magnitude of the linear acceleration of the endpoint for any displacement $x$: $\tau = I~\alpha$ $\frac{L}{2}~F = \frac{1}{12}mL^2~\frac{a}{L/2}$ $F = \frac{1}{3}ma$ $kx = \frac{1}{3}ma$ $a = \frac{3k}{m}~x$ Then $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{3k}{m}}$ We can find the period: $T = 2\pi~\sqrt{\frac{m}{3k}}$ $T = 2\pi~\sqrt{\frac{0.600~kg}{(3)(1850~N/m)}}$ $T = 0.0653~s$
