The equilibrium stretching is given by equating weight with spring force.

$\therefore 0.2 \times 10=200 \times x$

$x=0.01 m=1 \mathrm{cm}$

When taken back to unstretched state, the sum of spring force and weight together is converted into spring force.

$\therefore 200 \times 0.01+0.2 \times 10=200 \times x$

$x=0.02 m=2 \mathrm{cm}$

The frequency is given by

$f=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{200}{0.2}} \approx 5.05 H z$
