%N Decimal expansion of the second Ramanujan trigonometric constant r_2.

%C According to the famous Ramanujan identity, the constant r_2 has a representation: r_2 = Sum_{i = 1..3} (cos(2^i*Pi/9))^(1/3) (see formula). This identity was submitted in 1914 by Ramanujan as a problem (cf. [Berndt, Y. S. Choi, S. Y. Kang]). For proof, see first [V. Shevelev].
