The natural frequency of a spring-mass system is originally 1 rad/s. The spring-mass system is connected to an inverted pendulum, with the spring attached to the midpoint of the pendulum, which has a length of 2l. Determine the mass ratio r (r = M/m) that restricts the natural frequency of the assembled system to less or equal to 2 rad/s. (Neglect the gravity, sin⁡θ ≈ θ, cos⁡θ ≈ 1)
