 A simple pendulum of length has a time period T for small oscillations. A fixed obstacle is placed directly below the point of suspension, so that only the lower quarter of the string continues oscillations (see figure). The pendulum is released from rest at a certain point O. The period of oscillation, assuming small angles, will be:
