Question

Phys

The spaceship Intergalactica lands on the surface of the uninhabited Pink Planet, which orbits a rather average star in the distant Garbanzo Galaxy. A scouting party sets out to explore. The party's leader-a physicist, naturally- immediately makes a determination of the acceleration due to gravity on the Pink Planet's surface by means of a simple pendulum of length 1.14 m. She sets the pendulum swinging, and her collaborators carefully count 104 complete cycles or oscillation during 212 s. What is the result?

Explanation / Answer

g = 4?
