(B) Let the displacement of the cylinder from its equilibrium position be $x$.When the cylinder is depressed by $x$, the additional buoyant force acting on it is $F_b = -(ho g A)x$, where $ho$ is the density of the liquid, $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity, and $A$ is the base area.Using Newton's second law, $ma = -(ho g A)x$, which gives $a = -(\frac{ho g A}{m})x$.Comparing this with the standard $SHM$ equation $a = -\omega^2 x$, we get $\omega_{	ext{cylinder}} = \sqrt{\frac{ho g A}{m}}$.For a spring-block system, the angular frequency is $\omega_{	ext{spring}} = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$.Given that the time periods are equal, their angular frequencies must be equal: $\omega_{	ext{cylinder}} = \omega_{	ext{spring}}$.Therefore, $\sqrt{\frac{ho g A}{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$, which implies $k = ho g A$.Given $ho = 900 \, kg/m^3$, $g = 10 \, m/s^2$ (standard approximation), and $A = 30 \, cm^2 = 30 	imes 10^{-4} \, m^2$.$k = 900 	imes 10 	imes 30 	imes 10^{-4} = 9000 	imes 30 	imes 10^{-4} = 27000 	imes 10^{-4} = 2.7 \, N/m$. Wait, re-evaluating the calculation: $900 	imes 10 	imes 30 	imes 10^{-4} = 27 \, N/m$.
