An unusual object of mass M is hung from its center of mass by a light wire, of length Lo, to form a physical pendulum with period of oscillation T. The length of the wire is then shortened to half of its original length. Solve for the period of oscillation in the shortened scenario, if the original length and period were Lo = 0.77m and T = 2.3s, respectively. (Reminder: You are expected to solve this algebraically before subbing in numerical values. Hint: The moment of inertia is NOT m Lo^2 .)
