Time period of a pendulum

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} \text { or } T_2 \sqrt{\frac{1}{g}}$

If $g$ becomes $4$ times. I must also be increased by $4$ times to keep $T$ constant.

    A circular disc of mass $10 \;kg$ is suspended by a wire attached to its centre. The wire is twisted by rotating the disc and released. The period of torsional oscillations is found to be $1.5 \;s$. The radius of the disc is $15\; cm .$ Determine the torsional spring constant of the wire in $N\;m\;rad^{-1}$. (Torsional spring constant $\alpha$ is defined by the relation $J=-\alpha \theta,$ where $J$ is the restoring couple and $\theta$ the angle of twist).
