Answer:

30.65 Kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

The period of oscillation T, the spring constant k, and the mass m are related by the following equation.


T=2\pi\sqrt[]{(m)/(k)}

So, solving for m, we get:


\begin{gathered} (T)/(2\pi)=\sqrt[]{(m)/(k)} \\ (T^2)/(4\pi^2)=(m)/(k) \\ (T^2k)/(4\pi^2)=m \\ m=(T^2k)/(4\pi^2) \end{gathered}

Therefore, replacing T = 11 s and k = 10 N/m, we get:


m=\frac{(11s)^2(10\text{ N/m)}}{4\pi^2}=30.65\text{ kg}

Then, the mass of the object is 30.65 Kg.
