In the pendulum formula , we use g = 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. But what about on Mars? If an astronaut on the surface of Mars swings a 1-meter long pendulum, and it has a period of 3.27 seconds, what is the acceleration due to gravity, g, on Mars?

The Gravitational Field Strength on Mars is ~3.7m/s² Unfortunately, i can not help you with The pendulum part of this problem, as i do not know the Physics of Pendulums.
