You’re working for the summer with an ornithologist who knows you’ve studied physics. She asks you for a noninvasive way to measure birds’ masses. You propose using a bird feeder in the shape of a 50-cm-diameter disk of mass 340 g, suspended by a wire with torsional constant 5.00 N·m/rad (Fig. 13.36). Two birds land on opposite sides and the feeder goes into torsional oscillation at 2.6 Hz. Assuming the birds have the same mass, what is it?
