A physical pendulum on Earth consists of a uniform rod oscillating about its endpoint. The mass of the rod is m = 0.400 kg. Assume oscillations are small. The period is T = 1.30 s. Hint: The moment of inertia about the endpoint is I = mL2/3 a) Calculate the length of the rod. b) What length would a simple pendulum (mass on string) need so that its period matched that of the physical pendulum. Assume the mass is the same.
