    Calculating acceleration of gravity and inertia of irregular lamina

    Ok I'm beginning to understand. With regards to the parallel axis theorem. I will know ml^2 but I don't know I or Io. How would I obtain I or Io?

    Calculating acceleration of gravity and inertia of irregular lamina

    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...

    Calculating acceleration of gravity and inertia of irregular lamina

    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...
