The mechanism shown oscillates in the vertical plane about the pivot O. The springs of equal stiffness

Question:

The mechanism shown oscillates in the vertical plane about the pivot O. The springs of equal stiffness k are both compressed in the equilibrium position θ = 0. Determine an expression for the period  τ of small oscillations about O. The mechanism has a mass m with mass center G, and the radius of gyration of the assembly about O is kO.
