In the "lump mass theory", a single-story building can be modeled in such a way that the whole mass of the building is lumped at the top of the building, which is supported by a cantilever column of negligible mass as shown. When a horizontal force P is applied to the model, the column deflects an amount of where L is the effective length of the column, E is Young's modulus of elasticity for the material, and I is the moment of inertia of the cross section of the column. If the lump mass is m, determine the frequency of vibration in terms of these parameters.
