The frequency of oscillation of a compound pendulum is

The frequency of oscillation of a compound pendulum is Correct Answer 1/2π √g.h/k2G +h2

We know that the periodic time, tp = 2π√Displacement/Accleration = 2π√θ/α and frequency of oscillation,n = 1/tp = 1/2π √g.h/k2G +h2 where kG = Radius of gyration about the centroidal axis, and h = Distance between the point of suspension and centre of gravity of the body.
