Concept Simulation 10.2 allows you to explore the effect of the acceleration due to gravity on pendulum motion, which is the focus of this problem. Astronauts on a distant planet set up a simple pendulum of length 1.2 m. The pendulum executes simple harmonic motion and makes 100 complete vibrations in 280 s. What is the acceleration due to gravity?
