A thin uniform rigid bar of length L and M is hinged at point O, located at a distance of L/3 from one of its ends. The bar is further supported using springs, each of stiffness k located at the two ends. A particle of mass m = M/4 is fixed at one end of the bar, as shown in the figure. For small rotations of the bar about O, the natural frequency of the system is
