A horizontal spring-block system made up of one block and one spring has oscillation frequency \(f\). A second spring, identical to the first, is to be added to the system.

(a) Does \(f\) increase, decrease, or stay the same when the two springs are connected as shown in Figure P15.37a?

(b) What happens to \(f\) when the springs are arranged as in Figure P15.37b?
