A cylindrical wooden block of cross-section 15 cm2 and mass 230 g is floated over water with an extra mass of 50 g 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 =0.3 and g=980 cm s-2, find the frequency of oscillation of the block.
