Full Question:1.	A vibration sensor, used in testing a washing machine, consists of a cube of aluminum 1.50 cm on edge mounted on one end of a strip of spring steel (like a hacksaw blade) that lies in a vertical plane.  The mass of the strip is small compared to that of the cube, but the length of the strip is large compared to the size of the cube.  The other end of the strip is clamped to the frame of the washing machine, which is not operating. A horizontal force of 1.43 N applied to the cube is required to hold it 2.75 cm away from its equilibrium position.  If the cube is released, what is its frequency of vibration?

Yeah...some of this feels like junk so I'm confusing myself

@agent0smith any recommendations? If not, then all I can say is, try to isolate the necessary information and toss everything else. Reading an essay(totally overexaggerated) for one question is a pain.
