Answer

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{2g}}$

Work Step by Step

The natural period of oscillation can be determined as follows: $\Sigma M=I\theta$ $\implies I\theta=-3Tsin(\phi)R$eq(1) We know that $\Sigma F=0$ $\implies 3T-mg=0$ $\implies T=\frac{mg}{3}$ We plug in the know values in eq(1) to obtain: $\frac{1}{2}mR^2\theta+3(\frac{mg}{3})\times (\frac{R}{l}\theta)\times R=0$ $\implies \frac{1}{2}mR^2\theta+\frac{R^2}{l}mg\theta=0$ Now $\omega_n=\sqrt{\frac{K_{eq}}{m_{eq}}}$ $\implies \omega_n=\sqrt{\frac{mgR^2/l}{mR^2/2}}$ $\implies \omega_n=\sqrt{\frac{2g}{l}}$ Now $T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}$ $\implies T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{2g}}$
