A spring having a spring constant of \(1200\) N/m is mounted on a horizontal table as shown in the figure. A mass of \(3\) kg is attached to the free end of the spring. The mass is then pulled sideways to a distance of \(2.0\) cm and released. The frequency of oscillations will be:
    

1. \(3.0~\text{s}^{-1}\) 2. \(2.7~\text{s}^{-1}\)
3. \(1.2~\text{s}^{-1}\) 4. \(3.2~\text{s}^{-1}\)
