(a) A pendulum that has a period of 3.00000 s and that is located where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.79m/s2 is moved to a location where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.82m/s2. What is its new period

I assume this is the motion of the simple pendulum

T = 2π ×
\sqrt{(L)/(g ) }

=>
(T1)/(T2 ) =
\sqrt{(g2)/(g1) }

Given T1= 3s g1= 9.79 g2= 9.82

=> T2 = 3.00459 s
