Two identical thin rods, each of mass m and length L, are joined at right angles to form an L-shaped object. This object is balanced on top of a sharp edge. If the object is displaced slightly, it oscillates. Assume that the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is g.
Find omega, the frequency of oscillation of the object. Your answer for the frequency may contain the given variables m and L as well as g.
I got that w= (g/L)^.5 but it keeps saying I am off by a multiplicative factor.
