You have been abducted by aliens and find yourself on a strange planet. fortunately, you have a meter stick with you. you observe that, if the stick oscillates around one end as a physical pendulum, it has a period of 0.85 s. what is the acceleration of gravity on this planet?

Explanation:

m = Mass of stick

L = Length of stick = 1 m

h = Center of mass of stick =

g = Acceleration due to gravity

T = Time period = 0.85 s

Time period is given by

Moment of inertia is given by

The acceleration of gravity on this planet is

54.6 m/s^2

Explanation:

length of the pendulum, l = 1 m

time period of the pendulum, T = 0.85 s

According to the formula of time period of pendulum

g = 54.6 m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity at this planet is 54.6 m/s^2.
