Four people sit in a car. The masses of the people are 41 kg, 47 kg, 53 kg, and 55 kg. The car's mass is 1020 kg. When the car drives over a bump, its springs cause an oscillation with a frequency of 1.00 Hz. What would the frequency be if only the 41-kg person were present?

Question

Four people sit in a car. The masses of the people are 41 kg, 47 kg, 53 kg, and 55 kg. The car's mass is 1020 kg. When the car drives over a bump, its springs cause an oscillation with a frequency of 1.00 Hz. What would the frequency be if only the 41-kg person were present? 
Hz

I really don't know how to do this, and I can't even make an assumption! Help please!

M=41+47+53+55 = 196 kg f=sqrt(k/M)/ 2•π k =(2•π •f)^2•M =7.74•10^3 N/m f1 =sqrt(k/m)/ = sqrt(7.74•10^3/41)/ 2•π =2.19 Hz.
