%X Utilizing a Computer Algebra System (CAS), namely <i>Mathematica</i><sup>R</sup>, the characteristics of a bifilar disk-shaped pendulum have been studied. By applying the Lagrangian methodology, the disk&#8217;s motion equation is formulated. This is conducive to an ODE, and its numeric solution co-insides with intuitive expectation. The period of the oscillations and tension in the strings are calculated and graphed.
