A 2.0kg block hang from a vertical spring causes it to stretch by 200cm. If the 2.0kg block is replaced by a 0.50kg mass and the spring is stretched and released, what are the frequency and period of the oscillations?

Please help and provide solutions and explanations. Thank you in advance! Well appreciated and God bless!
