(a) An extended solid object of mass m oscillates under gravity through small angles about a pivot-point P. Show that the period of oscillation is given by: lp T = 21 mgl where Ip is the moment of inertia of the object about a horizontal axis through P perpendicular to the plane of oscillations and I is the distance from P to the centre of mass of the body.
