As part of her experimental equipment, an astronaut carries a simple pendulum that is 0.500 m long on her spaceship. Now that she has landed on the unexplored planet 18 Delphini b, she conducts an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity on that planet. She observes that her pendulum undergoes 10 complete oscillations in 25.9 s. What is the acceleration of gravity on 18 Delphini b?
