One end of a spring of negligible unstretched length and spring constant is fixed at the origin a point particle of mass carrying a positive charge is attached at its other end. The entire system is kept on a smooth horizontal surface. When a point dipole pointing towards the charge is fixed at the origin, the spring gets stretched to a length I and attains a new equilibrium position (see figure below). If the point mass is now displaced slightly by from its equilibrium position and released, it is found to oscillate at frequency . The value of is ______
