Detailed Solution

When elevator is at rest mg=k x 0 (1)  Apply psendo force of ma. The mean position shifts downwards such that the distance between initial and new equilibrium positions is amplitude of oscillation A.
k x 0 +A =mg+ma  
A= ma k  
Net restoring force when the block is x units below the mean position
=k x 0 +A+x +mg+ma=kx  
kx=ma=m ω 2 x  
ω= k m  
τ= 2π ω =2π m k
