a pendulum clock from earth is taken to planet X. The radius of planet X is four times the radius of the Earth, but its mass is the same. How long will it take for the clock to register that one hour has passed

A simple pendulum on earth has a period of 2.5 s. It is moved to Planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is one quarter the value on earth. Find the period of the pendulum on Planet X.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard decides to bring his favorite grandfather clock to the surface of Planet X This type of pendulum clock is designed to work on the Earth; where 30 complete oscillations of the pendulum correspond to minute (note that this means the pendulum has a 2.00 period): On the surface of Planet X, Picard finds the clock runs slow: Comparing it to his digital watch; he notes that it takes 68.19 seconds for a minute" to pass (as indicated by the second hand making one revolution around the clock's face) as opposed to the expected 60.00 seconds_ m/s?, what is Planet X's acceleration of gravity?
