Spring constant of the spring is given by

\\k=\frac{Weight\ of\ Maximum\ mass\ the\ scale\ can\ read}{Maximum\ displacement\ of\ the\ scale}\\ k=\frac{50\times 9.8}{20\times 10^{-2}}\\ k=2450\ Nm^{-1}

The time period of a spring attached to a body of mass m is given by

\\T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\\ m=\frac{T^{2}k}{4\pi ^{2}}\\ m=\frac{(0.6)^{2}\times 2450}{4\pi ^{2}}\\ m=22.34\ kg\\ w=mg\\ w=22.34\times 9.8\\ w=218.95\ N
