Currently Playing: Physical Pendulum_2

You create a physical pendulum by attaching an object with a mass of 5 kg to a pivot point which is 25 cm away from the object’s center of gravity. The object has a moment of inertia of 50 kg∙m2 about its pivot point, and is on the surface of the Earth. What is the physical pendulum’s period as it oscillates about the pivot point? A) 𝜋/4 B) 𝜋/2 C) 𝜋 D) 4𝜋 E) 10𝜋 The physical pendulum is now brought to a planet with twice the surface gravity of Earth. What is its period on the new planet? A) 2𝜋√2 B) 2𝜋 C) 𝜋√8 D) 8𝜋 E) 6𝜋
