A block attached to a spring with a spring constant of 36.02 N/m oscillates frictionless with a frequency of 4.337 Hz on a horizontal plane. What is the mass of the block?

I found this formula in the chapter on simple harmonic oscillation:
f = sqrt(k/m) / (2*pi))
where k is the spring constant and m is the mass of the block. The formula is the result of solving a differential equation.
f = sqrt(k/m) / (2*pi))
where k is the spring constant and m is the mass of the block. The formula is the result of solving a differential equation.
