Answer

$$ \tau=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{k_G^2+d^2}{g d}} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \begin{gathered} ↻+\Sigma M_O=I_O \alpha ; \quad-m g d \sin \theta=\left[m k_G^2+m d^2\right] \ddot{\theta} \\ \ddot{\theta}+\frac{g d}{k_G^2+d^2} \sin \theta=0 \end{gathered} $$ However, for small rotation $\sin \theta \approx \theta$. Hence $$ \ddot{\theta}+\frac{g d}{k_G^2+d^2} \theta=0 $$ From the above differential equation, $\omega_n=\sqrt{\frac{g d}{k_G^2+d^2}}$. $$ \tau=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega_n}=\frac{2 \pi}{\sqrt{\frac{g d}{k_G^2+d^2}}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{k_G^2+d^2}{g d}} $$
