period: t2 = 4*PI2*I / MgD
t = period
i = moment of inertia
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
d = central axis length
a simple pendulum, also called a mathematical pendulum, has its mass concentrated on the object (regarded as a particle) and its length remains unchanged.
a compound pendulum is also called a physical pendulum. the size and shape of the pendulum are arbitrary, and the shape and size cannot be ignored.
