Physical pendulum

A textbook-style physical pendulum shown as a single rigid solid body suspended from a fixed pivot near or at its top, with the pivot clearly marked as a small pin or support point above the body's center of mass. The pendulum is depicted as an elongated rod, bar, flat plate, or slightly irregular solid with mass distributed throughout the object rather than concentrated in a bob, emphasizing rotation of the whole body about the fixed point. The body may hang vertically or be tilted slightly from vertical in a vertical plane, with a simple mechanical appearance and the center of mass indicated below the pivot when shown.
