A 5.00 kg object oscillates back and forth at the end ofa spring whose spring constant is 49.3 N/m. An obersever istraveling at

a speed of 2.80 *10^8 m/s relative to the fixed end ofthe spring. What does this observer measure for the period ofoscillation.
The answer in the back of the book is 5.57 seconds, but I keepgetting 30 seconds. Can someone help tell me what I am doing wronghere is my work:
t= period observer sees
to=real period
to=2π*√(m/k)=2π*√(5.00kg/49.3N/m)=2.00sec
t=to/(1-√(v^2/c^2)), where v=2.80*10 ^8 m/s andc=3.0*10^8 m/s
t=2.00/(1-√((2.80*10^8)^2/(3.00*10^8)^2))=30seconds
