Final answer:

The force constant of the spring is 41.44 N/m.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the force constant of the spring, you can use the formula:

T = 2π √(m/k)

where T is the period of oscillation, m is the mass, and k is the force constant.

Rearranging the formula:

k = (4π^2m)/T^2

Plugging in the values given:

k = (4π^2(0.43))/(0.64^2)

= 41.44 N/m
