Answer

$0.47Kg$

Work Step by Step

As we know that $K=\frac{F}{y}=\frac{mg}{y}$ $\implies K=\frac{(0.50)(9.81)}{15\times 10^{-2}}=32.7\frac{N}{m}$ We also know that $T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}$ This can be rearranged as: $m=(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2K$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $m=(\frac{0.75}{2\pi})^2\times (32.7)=0.47Kg$
