In circle $\theta_1$ with radius $1$, circles $\phi_1, \phi_2, \dots, \phi_8$, with equal radii, are drawn such that for $1 \le i \le 8$, $\phi_i$ is tangent to $\omega_1$, $\phi_{i-1}$, and $\phi_{i+1}$, where $\phi_0 = \phi_8$ and $\phi_1 = \phi_9$. There exists a circle $\omega_2$ such that $\omega_1 \neq \omega_2$ and $\omega_2$ is tangent to $\phi_i$ for $1 \le i \le 8$.

A simple pendulum experiment is constructed from a point mass $m$ attached to a pivot by a massless rod of length $L$ in a constant gravitational field. The rod is released from an angle $\theta_0 < \frac{\pi}{2}$ at rest and the period of motion is found to be $T_0$. Ignore air resistance and friction.
