If I did this right I get ; pi((a^2)+d^2)/g*d If someone would confirm that would be great

Wait, can I use alpha= to T/I , then relate that to 2pi to find period?

Homework Statement A disk of mass m and radius a is suspended horizontally by a rod bored through the disk at a location d distance from the center. When in equilibrium the center of the disk is directly below the rod. Obtain an approximate expression for the period, ignore disapative...

\ If it was uniform that would be right but its not uniform. This is what I came up with: Find center of gravity, Calculate torque, using that the sum of all forces has to equal total mass it should cancel out, any thoughts?

The easiest way to make a basic one is with straight coding, you can usually find a list of commands online. After that just open up a wordpad document or equivalent linix, and same as htm when your done. To make a really good one, look for DREAMWEAVER its a program designed just for webpages
