It would need knowing the correct dimensions of it.
I assume the bar at the bottom is a solid weight, which could make it a bit awkward as the center of mass would be a bit different to a classical pendulum?
It's a counter weight problem. If you had a light beam with two weights on the end, then it would be esaier to compute. The problem is, the whole Gnomon forms the oscilatting weight. I bet it could be googled.
I guess you're going to work out g next?

Possible I guess.

I think it is. It would take a bit of doing. I'm sure it can be done. The problem is slightly more than setting up a simple SMH equation.
