As shown in in the figures, a uniform rod \( OO' \) of length \( l \) is hinged at the point \( O \) and held in place vertically two walls using two massless springs of same spring constant. The springs are connected at the midpoint and at the top-end (\( O' \)) of the rod, as shown in Figure \( 1 \) and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement. The frequency of oscillation of the rod is \( f_{1} \). On the other hand, if both the springs are connected at the midpoint of the rod, as shown in Figure \( 2 \) and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement, then the frequency of oscillation is \( f_{2} \). Ignoring gravity and assuming motion only in the plane of the diagram, the value of \( \dfrac{f_{1}}{f_{2}} \) is:
