Question

In a physics lab experiment for the determination of moment of inertia, a team weighs an object and finds a mass of 3.25 kg. They then hang the object on a pivot located 0.249 m from the object's center of mass and set it swinging at a small amplitude. As two of the team members carefully count 105 cycles of oscillation, the third member measures a duration of 269 s. What is the moment of inertia of the object with respect to its center of mass about an axis parallel to the pivot axis? Answer should be ___ kg*m^2
