Thanks Simon.
I know to take the reading of the distance from the center of mass to the axis of roatation and time a number of oscillations and divide by that number to obtain the period.
However, my issue is that I do not know how to solve for g and Io based on the limited information...
Homework Statement
I have a practical coming up and I have to research the method and calculations. I will be given an irregular lamina that I need to use as a compound pendulum in an experiment to determine the gravitational acceleration, g, as well as the moment of inertia (Io) of the...
