Why spherical mirror not exactly converge the parallel incoming rays at centre while parabolic do despite spherical geometry favours it?

An oscillator consists of a block of mass 512 g connected to a spring. When set into oscillation with amplitude 34.7 cm, it is observed to repeat its motion every 0.484 s. Find (a) the period, (b) the frequency, (c) the angular frequency, (d) the force constant, (e) the maximum speed, and ( f ) the maximum force exerted on the block.
