what will be the time period of a simple pendulum if the pendulum is taken to a place where the value of g is 4 times that on the surface of the earth?
Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is

A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position.
