Homework Statement: So i need to find equations to help me with a bifiler suspension experiment in which i will use a rectangular drop bar as the oscillating object, also any help with the method of this experiment would be greatly appreciated. The end goal is to find the moment of inertia using a graph with experimental results but to also have an equation that i can use to calculate theoretical values
Homework Equations: ?

Please help

Hello dlx, :welcome: !

PF isn't for doing your homework for you, but to help you with it.

The thread will be deleted by a mentor once they are aware of it. Read the guidelines and make it easier for us to help you. We do want to help, don't worry.

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

As @BvU says, we cannot offer tutorial help until you show your best efforts to work this problem.

Can you use the "Attach files" button below the Edit window to attach a diagram or sketch? And what are the traditional equations used for calculating the MOI of an object? What are the typical equations used to describe oscillations in terms of mass densities and stiffness?
