As you know every body has his own frequency at which it vibrates. Is it 
possible to calculate that frequency or is it possible to find that out 
only with measurements?

I'll give you an example:
Somewhere in USA, a bridge collapsed, because wind made it vibrate at its own
frequency; or when a singer breaks a glass just by singing at the apropriate
tone.
Is it possible to calculate that frequency or is it just possible to measure
it? If it's possible to calculate it, I would like to know the equation for the
calculation of that
frequency.
