A compound pendulum consists of a rigid body in the shape of a lamina suspended in the vertical plane at a point other than the center of gravity. Compute the period for small oscillations in terms of the radius of gyration about the center of gravity and the separation of the point of suspension from the center of gravity. Show that if the pendulum has the same period for two points of suspension at unequal distances from the center of gravity, then the sum of these distances is equal to the length of the equivalent simple pendulum.
