A generic irregularly shaped rigid body is shown in a vertical plane. A point labeled 'CM' marks the center of mass. A pivot point labeled 'P' is shown on the body, located at a vertical distance 'h' directly above the CM. An arrow points from P toward the CM to indicate the movement of the pivot.
A physical pendulum with a pivot point P a distance h from the center of mass.
A physical pendulum consists of a uniform rigid object pivoted at a point located a distance \(h\) from its center of mass. The object is allowed to undergo small-angle oscillations. Which of the following best describes the behavior of the period \(T\) of the pendulum if the pivot point is moved closer to the center of mass such that the distance \(h\) approaches zero?
