Measure the length and the period
The local gravitational acceleration on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s², but it can vary slightly depending on factors like altitude and geological differences.
The frequency of a pendulum depends on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity. It is described by the equation f = 1 / (2π) * √(g / L), where f is the frequency, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum.
What you want is a pendulum with a frequency of 1/2 Hz. It swings left for 1 second,then right for 1 second, ticks once in each direction, and completes its cycle in exactly2 seconds.The length of such a pendulum technically depends on the acceleration due to gravityin the place where it's swinging. In fact, pendulum arrangements are used to measurethe local value of gravity.A good representative value for the length of the "seconds pendulum" is 0.994 meter.
No, it does not. The earth's acceleration is relatively constant at or near the surface; about 9.8 meters per second squared. In short, just because the mass of an object is more or less does not mean it can affect the gravitational force of the earth. ================================= I think you may be asking whether the mass of the pendulum bob affects the result of the MEASUREMENT when we use that pendulum to measure the local acceleration of gravity. There again, the answer is No ... When you look at the formula that relates the period of the pendulum, its length, and the local gravity, the mass of the pendulum doesn't appear in the formula, and the result of the calculation is the same no matter how heavy your bob is. Now, if you want to get technical about it, the 'length' of the pendulum is the distance from the pivot to the center of mass. So, if the string or other means of suspension from which the bob hangs is NOT massless, then the mass of the bob does affect the position of the center of mass, and therefore the period of the pendulum. So for accurate measurement, it's always best to use the lightest possible string, and the most massive possible bob, in order to have the center of mass actually located as close as possible to where you THINK it is.
The variables that affect the swing of a pendulum are its length, mass, and the amplitude of its initial displacement. A longer pendulum will have a slower swing rate, while a heavier mass will also affect the period of oscillation. Amplitude plays a role in determining the maximum speed of the pendulum swing.

T=2π√(L/g)where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the local acceleration of gravity.

Buoyancy and pressure determine whether the object floats or sinks.

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the formulaT = 2*pi*sqrt(L/g)where T = periodL = lengthand g = local acceleration due to gravity.Note that this formula is applicable only when the angular displacement of the pendulum is small. For a displacement of 22.5 degrees (a quarter of a right angle), the true period is approx 1% longer : a clock will lose more than 1/2 a minute every hour!
It depends on the mass of the object, the local value of acceleration of gravity, and the object's height above the elevation you're using for your zero-potential-energy reference level.
No; for example, other planets have more or less gravitational attraction than Earth. Even on Earth, there are local variations, so the standard acceleration of 9.8 or 9.82 meters/second squared is basically an average, or typical, value.
32 grams I know this because of my scientific background I have also been to the moon.
Basically it is the object's "weight". The gravitational force on an object is its Mass X Gravitational Constant. The gravitational constant is the acceleration of a free falling body towards another body, and on Earth is equal to 9.81 meters/sec2 or 32.2 feet/sec2. Thus while the MASS of an object is a constant physical property, the WEIGHT of an object depends on the local gravity field pulling on that MASS.
