Answer

$K=7.9\frac{N}{m}$

Work Step by Step

We know that, $\omega=\sqrt\frac{K}{m}$ After squaring both sides and rearranging, we obtain: $K=\omega^2m$ .................eq(1) We also know that, $\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$ As $T=0.5s$, $\omega=\frac{2\pi}{0.5}=4\pi\frac{rad}{s}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $K=(4\pi)^2(0.05)$ $K=7.9\frac{N}{m}$
