Member advised to use the homework template for posts in the homework sections of PF, and to choose descriptive thread titles.
is not it the case similar to simple pendulum and time period for simple pendulum is T=2.pi sqrt(L/g) ?drvrm said:i do not think your answer is correct
as T = 2.pi. Sqrt( 2.L / 3.g) so and angular frequency w = 2.pi / T so option b seems to be correct you can see hyperphysics site or

its clear now Thanks a globedrvrm said:Bar pendulum is not similar to a simple pendlum as the masses are spread in a particular manner and it leads to moment of Inertia as it oscillates where as in simple pendulum mass is concentrated at a point at length L.
if you have analysed a compound pendulum or a rigid body hung from a point and oscillating then the picture of restoring torque and angular acceleration will be clear...see the reference of mit given above for detail. or consult a textbook dealing with oscillation of a rigid body from a fixed axis.
