Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A
The formula for the time period of a compound pendulum is given by:
T = 2 pi 00sqrt{\frac{I}{mgL}}
Where:
- T is the time period
- I is the moment of inertia
- m is the mass of the pendulum
- g is the acceleration due to gravity
- L is the distance from the pivot point to the center of mass.
Therefore, Option A correctly represents the formula for the time period of a compound pendulum.
