Obtain the gravitational acceleration on the surface

Reference no: EM13659483

Having landed on a newly discovered planet, an astronaut sets up a simple pendulum of length 1.57 meter and finds that it makes 302 complete oscillations in 593 second. The amplitude of the oscillations is very small compared to the pendulum's length. Find the gravitational acceleration on the surface of this planet?

Answer in units of m/s2.
