    PHYSICS - physical pendulum - Need your help

    A physical pendulum consists of a uniform rod of length L = 1.5 meters. The mass of the rod is 5kg and the rod is pivoted about its end. The rod is pulled out to an angle of θ0=0.2rad and is then given a push so that its instantaneous angular velocity is -0.5 rad/sec. a) What is the period of...
