A grandfather clock uses a physical pendulum to keep time. The pendulum consists of a uniform thin rod of mass M = 1.61 kg and length L = 0.381 m that is pivoted freely about one end, with a solid disk of mass 3M and a radius of L4𝐿4 attached to the free end of the rod.

A grandfather clock uses a physical pendulum to keep time. The pendulum consists of a uniform thin rod of mass M = 1.61 kg and length L = 0.153 m that is pivoted freely about one end, with a solid disk of mass 3M and a radius of L4𝐿4 attached to the free end of the rod.  Determine the length L that gives a period of T = 2.45 s.

What kind of motion is executed by the pendulum of a wall clock?

An MYP student was always fascinated by the motion of a pendulum clock. So, she decided to conduct an experiment to determine the reason behind the fixed time period of its motion. For this, she created a simple pendulum using a string of particular length and tied a bob to the bottom of it. Initially she wanted to test whether there is any relation between the length of the pendulum and the time period and kept a stopwatch with her to measure the time.

Consider a physical pendulum constructed by attaching a thin, massless rod to the center of a uniform disc of mass 1.00 kg and radius 40.0 cm. The disc has a moment of inertia of ½ MR2 about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disc, through its center. With the rod hung from one end (the pivot), the plane of the disc (attached to the other end) is vertical. If the rod has a length of 50.0 cm, then the period of (small amplitude) oscillations of the pendulum will be
