Problem

An identical pendulum of fixed length is taken from Earth, where the period for small-angle oscillations is measured to be 2.00 s2.00\,\text{s}, to Saturn’s moon Titan, where the local gravitational field is gTitan=1.35 m s−2g_{\text{Titan}} = 1.35\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}. (a) Determine the factor by which the period changes when the pendulum operates on Titan instead of on Earth. (b) Calculate the numerical value of the period on Titan.
