A uniformly dense rigid rod is pivoted around a frictionless hinge to form a physical pendulum, as shown in the figure. The length of the rod, denoted by L in the figure is 1.9 m and the mass of the rod is 3 kg. The distance between the hinge and the center of mass of the rod is L/4. What is the angular frequency of small amplitude oscillations of this pendulum?
