Physical Pendulum Period Modification

Mark
< Prev
Next >

A physical pendulum with a mass of M=2.0 kgM = 2.0\ \mathrm{kg} has a moment of inertia I=0.5 kg⋅m2I = 0.5\ \mathrm{kg\cdot m^2} about its pivot point. The distance from the pivot to the pendulum’s center of mass is d=0.3 md = 0.3\ \mathrm{m}. When a small mass mm is attached to the pendulum at a distance r=0.4 mr = 0.4\ \mathrm{m} from the pivot, the period of oscillation doubles. What is the value of the attached mass mm?

A

4.5 kg

B

12.0 kg

C

3.0 kg

D

2.0 kg
