A meter stick, suspended at one end by a 0.502m long light string, is set into oscillation. Determine the period of oscillation in seconds.
At first I thought this would be a rather simple problem, so I did T=2pi*sqrt(L/g) but apparently this is very wrong.
Then I tried w=sqrt(g/l) T=(2pi)/w but this seems to be wrong as well.
But I can see no other way to do this problem using just the length and g.
Can anyone offer any insight into solving this problem?
Thanks for any help.
