A Large Stick Is Pivoted About One End and Allowed

question 39

Short Answer

A large stick is pivoted about one end and allowed to swing back and forth with no friction as a physical pendulum. The mass of the stick is 5.40 kg and its center of gravity (found by finding its balance point) is 1.80 m from the pivot. If the period of the swinging stick is 6.90 seconds, what is the moment of inertia of the stick about an axis through the pivot?
