Assume a given pendulum has a period of 10 seconds on Earth. What is the length of the pendulum? Round your answer to two decimal palces. Hint: You should use the gravitational constant g = 9.8 m/s2.

Can someone work this out and display an answer? please

Well, you're not going to get that here, I think. (At least, you shouldn't). You'll learn much more, if you think about it for yourself... What kind of approach have you had in mind? Why didn't it work out? If you really don't know, where to start, there is a video lecture on exactly this, held by Walter Lewin himself on the OCW-site of MIT. -> http://goo.gl/z6qtw
