Transcribed Image Text:Calculate the period of oscillation of a pendulum on a planet of density pp = 10° kg m3 with radius Rp = 3.9 x 10 km, while period of the same pendulum on Earth is Tg=1.2 s. Assume the Earth
to be a sphere of radius Rp = 6.4 x 103 km and density of er = 5.5 × 10³ kg m3. Give your answer in SI units.
