A 500 g, 3 m uniform thin rod is pivoted at one end and has a mass 500 g attached to its other end. Ignore friction and air resistance.
A. Find the distance from the pivot to the center of mass of the pendulum.
B. Find the moment of intertia of the physical pendulum.
C. Derive the pendulum oscillation equation for a small deflection angle starting from Newton's Second Law for rotation and find the period of oscillation.
