(d) $T \propto \frac{1}{{\sqrt k }}$

==> $\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{K_1}}}{{{K_2}}}} $$ = \sqrt {\frac{k}{{4k}}} = \frac{1}{2}$

==> ${T_2} = \frac{{{T_1}}}{2}$

    A uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is pivoted at the centre. Its two ends are attached to two springs of equal spring constants $k$. The springs are fixed to rigid supports as shown in the figure, and the rod is free to oscillate in the horizontal plane. The rod is gently pushed through a small angle $\theta$ in one direction and released. The frequency of oscillation is
