A very light rigid rod with a length of 1.32 m extends straight out from one end of a meter stick. The other end of the rod serves as a pivot and the system is set into oscillation.
Ip = ICM + MD2
(a) Determine the period of oscillation. [Suggestion: Use the parallel-axis theorem equation given above. Where D is the distance from the center-of-mass axis to the parallel axis and M is the total mass of the object.]
_____________s
(b) By what percentage does the period differ from the period of a simple pendulum 1.82 m long?
____________%
