It would be 3.15 in meters
The tension has to hold the part of the weight in the direction of the string:
T = mg*cos(theta)
Theta=0, whole weight, theta=90, T=0, if the pendulum is horizontal, the string will be loose! Yeah
The moment of inertia is 
Explanation:
The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moment of inertia of the rod + the moment of inertia of the two balls.
The moment of inertia of the rod about its centre is given by

where
M = 24 kg is the mass of the rod
L = 0.96 m is the length of the rod
Substituting,

The moment of inertia of one ball is given by

where
m = 50 kg is the mass of the ball
is the distance of each ball from the axis of rotation
So we have

Therefore, the total moment of inertia of the system is

Answer:
B. w=12.68rad/s
C. α=3.52rad/s^2
Explanation:
B)
We can solve this problem by taking into account that (as in the uniformly accelerated motion)
( 1 )
where w0 is the initial angular speed, α is the angular acceleration, s is the arc length and r is the radius.
In this case s=3.7m, r=16.2cm=0.162m, t=3.6s and w0=0. Hence, by using the equations (1) we have


to calculate the angular speed w we can use
Thus, wf=12.68rad/s
C) We can use our result in B)

I hope this is useful for you
