Assuming the string from a simple pendulum did not have negligible mass and the pendulum bob was not a point mass, then determine an expression for the period of a single small-amplitude oscillation, treating the string as a rigid rod.

Homework Equations


Theoretical moment of inertia of center of mass for long thin rod = 1/12 mL^2

The Attempt at a Solution

Why not? Check if your equation reduces to the limiting case for which you know the answer, namely massless string and point-mass bob.
