A vertical scale on a spring balance reads from 0 to 180 \rm{N}. The scale has a length of 10.0 \rm{cm} from the 0 to 180 \rm{N} reading. A fish hanging from the bottom of the spring oscillates vertically at a frequency of 2.75 \rm{Hz}. Ignoring the mass of the spring, what is the mass of the fish?
