A simple pendulum of length $L$ is constructed from a point object of mass $m$ suspended by a massless string attached to a fixed pivot point. $A$ small peg is placed a distance $2L/3$ directly below the fixed pivot point so that the pendulum would swing as shown in the figure below. The mass is displaced $5$ degrees from the vertical and released. How long does it take to return to its starting position?
