Consider a Physical Pendulum Constructed by Attaching a Thin, Massless

question 34

Multiple Choice

Consider a physical pendulum constructed by attaching a thin, massless rod to the center of a uniform disc of mass 1.00 kg and radius 40.0 cm. The disc has a moment of inertia of ½ MR² about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disc, through its center. With the rod hung from one end (the pivot) , the plane of the disc (attached to the other end) is vertical. If the rod has a length of 50.0 cm, then the period of (small amplitude) oscillations of the pendulum will be

• A) 2.22 sec.
• B) 2.03 sec.
• C) 1.89 sec.
• D) 1.63 sec.
• E) 1.32 sec.
