Frequency of the vibration.

Using the definition of the elastic constant, we obtain the angular frequency:      

And remembering the relation between angular frequency and frequency, we get:

You can see that frequency depends exclusively on the elastic constant of the movement and the mass of the body describing it. On the following page we try to show the influence of both magnitudes on the frequency of the movement:
