Physical Pendulum and Center of Oscillation
A physical pendulum of mass m oscillates with a small-amplitude period T about a pivot point P. The pendulum’s moment of inertia about P is I, and the distance from P to the center of mass is d. If the pendulum is pivoted at its center of oscillation, located a distance L = I/(md) from P, what is its new period of oscillation?
A
T√2
B
2T
C
