Exercise 10
Ring hanging from a nail
Theory used: Physical pendulum
A thin uniform ring of mass and radius hangs from a horizontal nail that passes through a point on its rim and is perpendicular to the plane of the ring. Given that the moment of inertia of the ring about the perpendicular axis through its center is , determine the period of small oscillations in the plane of the ring.
