⏱️ Physical Pendulum Bench: Parallel-Axis Theorem, Radius of Gyration and Minimum-Period Pivot Lab

Hang a rod, disk, ring or plate from any pivot and measure its period with a live RK4 solver. See the parallel-axis theorem, the equivalent simple-pendulum length and the shortest-period pivot at d = k, checked against the exact elliptic-integral period.
