# On Earth, a simple pendulum of length \(1.2 \, \text{meters}\), mass of \(3 \, \text{kg}\), and amplitude of \(10\) degrees oscillates back and forth. Calculate:

On Earth, a simple pendulum of length \(1.2 \, \text{meters}\), mass of \(3 \, \text{kg}\), and amplitude of \(10\) degrees oscillates back and forth. Calculate:

**Part a)** The angular frequency (\(\omega\)) of the oscillation. *(1 points)*

**Part b)** The period (\(T\)) of oscillation. *(1 points)*

**Part c)** The maximum speed of the pendulum. *(3 points)*

**Part d)** The maximum acceleration of the pendulum *(2 points)*

**Part e)** The pendulum is brought to an Exoplanet to determine the acceleration of gravity. Careful measurements indicate the frequency of oscillation is \(2.3 \, \text{Hz}\). What is the acceleration due to gravity on this Exoplanet? *(4 points)*
