Question

In a physics lab experiment for the determination of moment of inertia, a team weighs an object and finds a mass of 4.76 kg. They then hang the object on a pivot located 0.188 m from the object\'s center of mass and set it swinging at a small amplitude. As two of the team members carefully count 101 cycles of oscillation, the third member measures a duration of 261 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?
