1. A uniform coin with radius R is pivoted at a point that is a distance d from its center. The coin is free to swing back and forth in the vertical plane defined by the plane of the coin. For what value of d is the frequency of small oscillations largest?
2. V(x)\equivpotential energy; V(x)\approx\frac{1}{2}V"(x_{o})(x-x_{o})^{2} ; omega is equal to the square root of V"(x)/m
3. I have no idea what to do. My textbook is vague and my notes from lecture are not sufficient. I don't want a solution, just a push in the right direction
