Problem

A block of mass 0.5 kg0.5\,\text{kg} is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface between two rigid walls. Two springs are attached to the block: Spring A (k=32 N/mk = 32\,\text{N/m}) connects the left face of the block to the left wall, and Spring B (k=18 N/mk = 18\,\text{N/m}) connects the right face of the block to the right wall. The block is displaced slightly to the right and released. Determine the frequency of the resulting oscillation.
