# To determine the value of g using bar pendulum and find the

radius of gyration of the pendulum.
𝐼
Theory : the expression of time period a bar pendulum is given by T=2π√𝑀𝑔𝑟 where M is the mass
and I is the moment of inertia of the bar pendulum. The distance r represents the distance of point
suspension from centre of gravity of the bar.
