Paragraph for Question Nos. 39 to 41
A uniform thin cylindrical disk of mass M and radius R is attached to two identical massless springs of
spring constant k which are fixed to the wall as shown in the figure. The springs are attached to the axle
of the disk symmetrically on either side at a distance d from its centre. The axle is massless and both the
springs and the axle are in a horizontal plane. The unstretched length of each spring is L. The disk is
initially at its equilibrium position with its centre of mass (CM) at a distance L from the wall. The disk rolls
without slipping with velocity i
