A 1-kg mass (the blue mass) is connected to a 9-kg mass (the green mass) by a massless rod 67 cm long, as shown in the figure. A hole is then drilled in the rod 40.2 cm away from the 1-kg mass, and the rod and masses are free to rotate about this pivot point, P. Calculate the period of oscillation for the masses if they are displaced slightly from the stable equilibrium position.
