The string of a simple pendulum is replaced by a uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$. If the mass of the bob of the pendulum is $m$,then for small oscillations its time period would be (assume radius of bob $r << L$):

  • A
    $2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{2(M + 3m)\,L}}{{3(M + 2m)\,g}}} $
  • B
    $2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{(M + 2m)\,L}}{{3(M + 3m)\,g}}} $
  • C
    $2\pi \sqrt {\left( {\frac{{2M}}{{3m}}} \right)\,\frac{L}{g}} $
  • D
    $2\pi \sqrt {\left( {\frac{{M + m}}{{M + 3m}}} \right)\,\frac{L}{g}} $
