An astronaut has landed on an asteroid and conducts an experiment to determine the acceleration of gravity on that asteroid. She uses a pendulum that has a period of oscillation of 2.00 s on Earth and finds that on the asteroid the period is 11.3 s

What is the acceleration of gravity on that asteroid? A) 0.307 m/s2
B) 1.66 m/s2
C) 1.74 m/s2
D) 5.51 m/s2
E) 0.0544 m/s2
