After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 46.0 cm. The explorer finds that the pendulum completes 96.0 full swing cycles in a time of 145 s. What is the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration on this planet? Express your answer in meters per second per second. If we use idea of simple pendulum, such that the period or T = square root of the length/g cycles, I believe that 2 pie when when get rid of square root makes 2 pie become 4 pie. Please the math steps in detail where g= 4pie^2/T^2 I need to get the steps right, so I can use 2pie*sqare riit if L/G
