Question: A uniform rod of length L oscillates through small angles about a point a distance x from its center. (a) Prove that its angular frequency

A uniform rod of length L oscillates through small angles about a point a distance x from its center.
(a) Prove that its angular frequency is Vgx/[(L2/12) + x'].
(b) Show that its maximum angular frequency occurs when x = L/V12.
(c) What is the length of the rod if the maximum angular frequency is 21T rad/s?
