Given $$gm=1.7ms-2$$ $$ge=9.8ms-2Time$$ period on $$Earth=Te=3.5seconds$$                                    As $$Te=2$$$$π$$lge Time period on $$moon=Tm=2$$$$π$$lgm ratio of above two equations is,                                            $$TmTe=gegm$$                                              $$Tm=Tegegm$$                                               $$Tm=3.59.81.7=8.4$$ seconds
