Suppose a second, horizontal spring will be coupled to the cylinder. The second spring is identical to the first one (i.e. same constant k, also being considered massless, etc) and, again, one end is connected to the cylinder's axle. The only difference is that the second spring is located to the right of the cylinder where it is connected horizontally to a second wall similarly to how the first one is connected to the left wall (i.e. at equilibrium both springs are neither stretched nor compressed).
The period T of this altered system can be written as
T=2cMk2
Find the value for the factor c, and enter its numerical value (3 sig.figs.) in the box given below.
Suppose a second, horizontal spring will be
