(d) Time period of a physical pendulum
$T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{{I_0}}}{{mgd}}} = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{\left( {\frac{1}{2}m{R^2} + m{R^2}} \right)}}{{mgR}}} $
$ = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{3R}}{{2g}}} $…..$(i)$
${T_{simple\;pendulum}} = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $…..$(ii)$
Equating $(i)$ and $(ii),$

$l = \frac{3}{2}R.$

    A uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is pivoted at the centre. Its two ends are attached to two springs of equal spring constants $k$. The springs are fixed to rigid supports as shown in the figure, and the rod is free to oscillate in the horizontal plane. The rod is gently pushed through a small angle $\theta$ in one direction and released. The frequency of oscillation is
