A car goes around uniform circular track of radius $R$ at a uniform speed $v$ once in every $T$ seconds. The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration is $a_c$. If the car now goes uniformly around a larger circular track of radius $2 R$ and experiences a centripetal acceleration of magnitude $8 a_c$. Then, its time period is
