A charge q is uniformly distributed on a thin rod of mass m and length I that stays at rest in free space. Two regions of uniform electric field of intensity E are created on both sides of the rod as shown in the figure.

Now the rod is projected along its length so that it cannot enter completely into any of the regions of electric field. Find period of oscillations of the rod as a function of the maximum distance xm entered by a leading end of the rod into a region of electric field.
