@ten , @Shane_B  anybody plz help me in my preparations, I am new here...

anonymous · Answer

For a pendulum, the time for a swing is T = 2 pi (L/g)^1/2
Smaller gravity equals longer time.
For the amount it swings, sorry I'm stuck for a minute!

shane_b · Answer

If you decrease the amount of gravity the restoring force will decrease...increasing the period of the motion.

waleed_imtiaz · Answer

I am thinking that If the time period increase, then the oscillations should become slow...... mean the vibrations decreses... Plz anybody confirm it. I am not sure....

shane_b · Answer

That's correct..the period will increase and the oscillations will thereby slow down.
