Periodic Motion: Moment of Inertia
Not what you're looking for?
A 1.80-kg connecting rod from a car engine is pivoted about a horizontal knife edge as shown in the figure above. The center of gravity of the rod was located by balancing and is 0.200 m from the pivot. When it is set into small amplitude oscillation, the rod makes 100 complete swings in 120 s.
Calculate the moment of inertia of the rod about the rotation axis through the pivot.
