there are two different omegas? I'm slightly confused. I know for a torsion oscillator, period is usually found using T = (2*pi)*(I/kappa)^(1/2) Inertia can be calculated...but how should I go about getting kappa, setting the net torque = -k*theta?

A square block, with a mass of 3.40 kg and edge lengths d = 6.00 cm, is mounted on an axle through its center. A spring of spring constant k = 1190 N/m connects the block's upper corner with a rigid wall. Initially the spring is at its rest length. If the block is rotated by 3° and then...
