Answer

$$ \omega_n=\sqrt{\frac{3 g\left(4 R^2-l^2\right)^{1 / 2}}{6 R^2-l^2}} $$

Work Step by Step

Moment of inertia about point $O$ : $$ \begin{gathered} I_O=\frac{1}{12} m l^2+m\left(\sqrt{R^2-\frac{l^2}{4}}\right)^2=m\left(R^2-\frac{1}{6} l^2\right) \\ C+\Sigma M_O=I_O \alpha, \quad m g\left(\sqrt{R^2-\frac{l^2}{4}}\right) \theta=-m\left(R^2-\frac{1}{6} l^2\right) \ddot{\theta} \\ \ddot{\theta}+\frac{3 g\left(4 R^2-l^2\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}{6 R^2-l^2} \theta=0 \end{gathered} $$ From the above differential equation, $\omega_n=\sqrt{\frac{3 g\left(4 R^2-l^2\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{6 R^2-l^2}}$.
