Find the angular frequency omega.

Question

One end of a spring with spring constant k is attached to the wall. The other end is attached to a block of mass m. The block rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The equilibrium position of the left side of the block is defined to be x = 0. The length of the relaxed spring is L.

The block is slowly pulled from its equilibrium position to some position x_init > 0 along the x axis. At time t=0 , the block is released with zero initial velocity.

It is known that a general solution for the position of a harmonic oscillator is

x(t) = C*cos(omega*t) S*sin(omega*t)
where C, S, and omega are constants.
