Bifilar Pendulum

The time period for the twisting motion about an axis passing perpendicular through the centre of mass is dependent on the moment of inertia about that axis. The time period also depends on mass (m), length of the wires (h) and separation between the wires (d1 and d2 ).

$$ T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{lh}{mgd_1d_2}} $$
