The new oscillation frequency of the pendulum clock is 1.14 rad/s.
The given parameters;
The moment of inertia of the rod about the end is given as;
[tex]I_i = \frac{1}{3} ML^2[/tex]
The moment of inertia of the rod between the middle and the end is calculated as;
[tex]I_f = \int\limits^L_{L/2} {r^2\frac{M}{L} } \, dr = \frac{M}{3L} [r^3]^L_{L/2} = \frac{M}{3L} [L^3 - \frac{L^3}{8} ] = \frac{M}{3L} [\frac{7L^3}{8} ]= \frac{7ML^2}{24}[/tex]
Apply the principle of conservation of angular momentum as shown below;
[tex]I _i \omega _i = I _f \omega _f\\\\\frac{ML^2}{3} (1 \ rad/s)= \frac{7ML^2}{24} \times \omega _f\\\\\frac{24 \times ML^2}{3 \times 7 ML^2} (1 \ rad/s)= \omega _f\\\\1.14 \ rad/s = \omega _f[/tex]
Thus, the new oscillation frequency of the pendulum clock is 1.14 rad/s.
