A cylindrical wooden block of cross-section $15.0 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ and mass 230 gm is floated over water with an extra weight 50 gm attached to its bottom. The cylinder floats vertically. From the state of equilibrium, it is slightly depressed and released. If the specific gravity of wood is 0.30 and $\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{~m}$ per $\mathrm{sec}^2$, find the frequency of oscillation of the block.
