(a) With what frequency does it vibrate? Assume SHM.?

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.72 m, the pendulum bob has a mass of 308 grams, and it is released at an angle of 10° to the vertical.

This question appears to be an exercise in misdirection with excess information. Assuming simple harmonic motion means that the mass and release angle do not matter.

1/F=T=2*pi*sqrt(L/g), where L is the length and g is acceleration due to gravity. T is the period and F is the frequency.
