A mechanical oscillator comprises a mass that is a steel cube with a length of side 4 cm attached to a spring of stiffness 3000 N/m. The mass is initially displaced from its equilibrium position by a force of 10 N. When the force is removed, the system exhibits simple harmonic motion with no damping. If the density of steel is taken as 8.1 g/cm³, calculate: (i) The resonant frequency of the system. [4]
