    From the given, the acceleration due to gravity of Mars is equal to 3.626 m/s². The period of an oscillating object is calculated through the equation,

    T = 2π (sqrt of L/g)

    Developing a ratio and proportion for the two planets,

    T1 / T2 = 0.80 s / T2 = sqrt g2 / sqrt g1

    The value of T2 is equal to 1.31. Therefore, the period of the pendulum in Mars is equal to 1.31 s.
