Question
Two pendulums have the same dimensions (length {L}) and total mass (m). Pendulum A is a very small ball swinging at the end of a uniform massless bar. In pendulum B, half the mass is in the ball and half is in the uniform bar.
1. Find the period of pendulum A for small oscillations.
2. Find the period of pendulum B for small oscillations.

Answer:
1)
, 2)
, where
.
Explanation:
1) Pendulum A is a simple pendulum, whose period (
) is determined by the following formula:
Where:
2) Pendulum B is a physical pendulum, whose period (
) is determined by the following formula:
Where:
The moment of inertia can be found by applying the formulae of the moment of inertia for a particle and the uniform bar and Steiner’s Theorem:
By applying (3) in (2) we get the following expression:
