Question:

You measure the period of a physical pendulum about one pivot point to be T. Then you find another pivot point on the opposite side of the center of mass that gives the same period. The two points are separated by a distance L. Use the parallel-axis theorem to show that g (This result shows a way that you can measure g without knowing the mass or any moments of inertia of the physical pendulum.)
