In the pendulum formula T = 2 V
9. we use g = 9.8 m/s for the
acceleration due to gravity on Earth. But what about on Venus? If an astronaut on the surface of Venus swings a 1-meter long pendulum, and it has a period of 2.11 seconds, what is the acceleration due to gravity, g, on
• A. 4.3 m/s?
• B. 3.0 m/52
• c. 1.4 m/s2
• D. 8.9 m/s?
