Answer

3.065

Work Step by Step

Time Period of Physical Pendulum $(T)=2π\sqrt \frac{I}{mgx}$ Where I= Moment of Inertia of Physical Pendulum, m= Mass of Body, g= Gravitational Acceleration, x= Distance Between Point of Suspension and Center of Mass of Body At point of suspension, $I=\frac{ml^{2}}{12}+mx^{2}$ Therefore, $T=2π\sqrt \frac{\frac{ml^{2}}{12}+mx^{2}}{mgx}$ For getting minimum Time Period, $\frac{dT}{dx}=0$ Therefore, $x=\frac{l}{\sqrt 12}$ $x=\frac{2.20}{\sqrt 12}$ $x=0.1833$ Therefore, $I=\frac{ml^{2}}{12}+mx^{2}$ $I=\frac{m(2.20)^{2}}{12}+m(0.1833)^{2}$ $I=m(0.4368)$ Therefore, $(T)=2π\sqrt \frac{(0.4368)}{g(0.1833)}$ $(T)=2π\sqrt(0.2382)$ $(T)=2π(0.4880)$ $(T)=3.06464$ $$(T)\approx3.065$$
