Rod Pendulum


Note that the period is independent of the mass and radius of the rod.
A physical pendulum in the form of a uniform rod suspended by its end has period

For pendulum length L = cm and
acceleration of gravity g = m/s^2
the pendulum period is T = s

compared to a period T = sfor a simple pendulum.
