In theoverhead view of , a long uniform rodof mass ( m = 0.6 Kg) is freeto rotate in a horizontal plane about avertical axis through its center.
A spring with force constant( k = 1850 N/m ) is connected horizontally between one end of the rod and a fixed wall.
When the rod is inequilibrium, it is parallel to the wall.
Let ' T ' be the time-period of the small oscillations that result when the rod is rotated slightly and released
Let rod ( length L) rotates by angle (
Let 'F ' be the force applied on the rod, then spring elongated by
Since , the moment of force
Or
So, the time period
where
So,
Here m=0.6 kg and k=1850 N/m
T=0.06533s
