Question
A highly-calibrated pendulum is designed to measure the acceleration due to gravity on another planet. On Earth, where g = 9.825 m/s2, it is shown to have a period of 2.57 s. When it is taken to the other planet, the period is measured to be 3.41 s. What is the acceleration due to gravity (in m/s2) on this other planet?
(Use g = 9.81 m/s2 for this calculation.)
