A mass falls from a height ' $h$ ' and its time of fall ' $t$ ' is recorded in terms of time period $T$ of a simple pendulum. On the surface of earth it is found that $t=2 \mathrm{~T}$. The entire set $u$ is taken on the surface of another planet whose mass is half of earth and radius the same. Same experiment is repeated and corresponding times noted as $\mathrm{t}^{\prime}$ and $\mathrm{T}^{\prime}$.
