The swing of a pendulum is affected by acceleration due to gravity. The
equation T =  represents the relationship between the time it takes a
pendulum that is 1.0 m long to swing back and forth once and gravitational acceleration. In this
formula, T is time, in seconds, and g is the gravitational acceleration, in metres per
second per second, or metres per second squared. a) The gravitational acceleration at
Earth’s surface is about 9.8 m/s 2. How long would it take the pendulum to swing back
and forth once at Earth’s surface? Express the answer to the nearest tenth of a
second. b) The gravitational acceleration on the moon is about  of the gravitational
acceleration at Earth’s surface. Determine how long it would take the pendulum to swing back
and forth if it were on the moon. Express the answer to the nearest tenth of a second.
