    Bifilar suspension

    If a rod of moment of inertia I and mass m is


    hung from two threads of length L and separated
    by a distance d (Figure 1) and is oscillated in a
    horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its
    centre, then the period is given by
    !his arrangement is called a bifilar suspension
    because the rod is supported by two threads"
    It can be used to calculate the value of the acceleration due to gravity (g) if the moment of
    inertia of the rod is calculated"
    For a rod being oscillated about its centre the moment of inertia is I # $L
