The diagram below shows a T shaped beam which is formed by two perpendicular beams PQ and AB joined together at the point Q as shown in the diagram. Each of the beams PQ and AB have length L and mass M. The T shaped beam is hung from a ceiling from a frictionless pivot at the point P. The beam is initially held at rest at an angle 0 to the vertical by means of a string parallel to the beam AB and connected to the beam at the point A. The moment of inertia about the centre of mass of a beam of mass M and length L is ICM ML.
