Question: An experimental package and its support structure, which are to be placed on board the International Space Station act as an under damped spring-mass system

An experimental package and its support structure, which are to be placed on board the International Space Station act as an under damped spring-mass system with a force constant of 2.1 X 106 N/m and mass 108 kg. A NASA requirement is that resonance for forced oscillations not occurs for any frequency below 35 Hz. Does this package meet the requirement?
