A penguin dives from a uniform board that is hinged at the left and attached to a spring at the right. The board has a length of 2.0mand a mass of 12kg. The spring constant is 1300/m. When the penguin dives, it leaves the board and spring oscillating with a small amplitude. Assume that the board is stiff enough not to bend and with a moment of inertia of 1/3mL^2, find the period of the oscillation.
