How do i find the period of small oscillations and length of the equivalent simple pendulum, for a rectangular plate (edges a and b) suspended at its corner and oscillating in vertical plane?
T = 2pi (I/mgl)^1/2
i calculated l (length) to be (a^2 + b^2 )^1/2 ---(the diagonal) is this right?
I = m/3 (a^2 + b^2)
when i try to plug this into T though, it gets nasty and I'm not sure this is right. help!
