T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{I}{Mg\frac{l}{2}}} = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m\frac{l^{2}}{3}}{mg\frac{l}{2}}} \Rightarrow T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{2l}{3g} }

 

Time period of physical pendulum -

T= 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{mgl}}

- wherein

I= moment of inertia about point of hinge

l= Seperation between point of suspension & centre of mass
