7.16 A particular person’s lower leg is 56 cm long and weighs 9.5 kg. If allowed to swing freely, with what time period would the leg swing? Is this close to what you would estimate such a person’s walking pace is? (Treat the leg as a simple pendulum with length equal to half the leg length and all the leg’s mass concentrated at this point.)
