Answer

$w=76N$

Work Step by Step

We know that, $\omega=2{\pi}f$ $\omega=2{\pi}(2)=4\pi\frac{rad}{s}$ We also know that $\omega=\sqrt\frac{K}{m}$ which can be written as $m=\frac{K}{\omega^2}$ Substituting the values into this formula and solving: $m=\frac{1225}{4\pi^2}=7.76Kg$ Thus the weight of the package is; $w=mg$ $w=(7.76)(9.8)=76N$
