Given acceleration due to gravity , gmoon=gm=16gearth=ge6 ⇒gm=ge6And length of pendulum on earth is, learth=le=60 cmsto find the lmoon=lmFor seconds pendulum time period is 2 seconds.T=2πlg for simple pendulum Time remains constant for seconds pendulum in both the planets.lg=constant.lmle=gmgelm=le×gmge= 60×ge6ge=606=10 cm
