(a) On a planet, if a body dropped initial velocity $(u = 0)$ from a height h and takes time t to reach the ground then $h = \frac{1}{2}{g_P}{t^2}$

$ \Rightarrow {g_P} = \frac{{2\,h}}{{{t^2}}} = \frac{{2 \times 8}}{4} = 4\,m/{s^2}$

Using $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $ ==> $T = 2\,\pi \sqrt {\frac{1}{4}} = \pi = 3.14\,$sec.
