T =2 π L g L: Frequency

1) A pendulum that makes 100 swings in 55.0 seconds on Earth where g is 9.80 m/s^2 has a length of 750.9 meters. 2) A pendulum with a period of 1.60 seconds on Earth (g = 9.81 m/s^2) would have a period of 3.937 seconds on the moon where g is 1.62 m/s^2. 3) A 3 meter pendulum that executes 20 vibrations in 70 seconds has a frequency of 0.286 Hz and a period of 3.5 seconds.
