At a simple level, the kinematics of this problem is straightforward. A look at a single chapter in a textbook would be enough to get to grips with it.
Theres not that much research you can do (except for learning rotational kinematics). You just have to nut it out yourself.
BGS?
To BladesOfChaos:
Don't concern yourself with main equations, think about the concepts. Equations are merely quantitative mathematical tools to describe concepts in physics. Just think about the problem! Your dealing with rotational motion, so rotational kinematics is obviously going to...

Well IYPT man,
Isn't obvious why the candle oscillates better with smaller diameters? It just eliminates the complected matter of dripping. This problem is very simple really. I'm from the australian team who won last year.
I solved this problem using two methods. One is simple...
