The correct answer is:
$1 \mathrm{~kg}$
Time period, $\mathrm{T}=\frac{\pi}{4}$
Force $\mathrm{F}=6.4 \mathrm{~N}$ $\mathrm{x}=0.1 \mathrm{~m}$
Spring force, $\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{kx}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
& 6.4=k \times 0.1 \\
& k=64
\end{aligned}
$$
Time period, $\mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}}}$
$$
\frac{\pi}{4}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{64}}
$$
mass, $\mathrm{m}=1 \mathrm{~kg}$.
Force $\mathrm{F}=6.4 \mathrm{~N}$ $\mathrm{x}=0.1 \mathrm{~m}$
Spring force, $\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{kx}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
& 6.4=k \times 0.1 \\
& k=64
\end{aligned}
$$
Time period, $\mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}}}$
$$
\frac{\pi}{4}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{64}}
$$
mass, $\mathrm{m}=1 \mathrm{~kg}$.
