Detailed Solution

The restoring force responsible for executing simple harmonic motion in this case  is the buoyant force.
Using this, we can equate  FB=ρVg to the restoring force F=kx .
Comparing the two equations,  kx=ρVg
Here  V=Ax,
Substituting this we get  kx=ρAxg
Hence,  k=ρAg 
For a body executing simple harmonic motion, its angular frequency can be written  as   ω=km
Substituting k=ρAg in  ω=km, we get 
ω=ρAgm .
Now, the mass of water in the bottle  m=ρAh
Hence,   ω=ρAgρAh=gh………………………(1)
In the question, the volume of water is given as 500 ml. Using the conversion that  1l=103m3,  we get  1ml=106m3,
Hence, volume of 500ml of water is   5×104m3
Again using  V=Ah,  5×104=Ah
Therefore  h=5×104A=5×104πr2. Given the radius if the base is 5 cm,
h=5×104π×5×1022 = 15π
h=115.70 .
Substituting this in equation (1),
 ω=gh=9.8115.70

ω=12.7  rad/s
