Question

A 0.20 kg mass is oscillating on Planet X at a small angle from a light string of length 0.15 m with a period of

0.75 s.
What is the acceleration of gravity on Planet X?
Round answer to two significant digits.

Answer 1

11 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can determine the acceleration of gravity from the pendulum’s period and length.

Let’s use the equation for the period of a pendulum and solve for the acceleration of gravity:
