A pendulum clock can be approximated as a simple pendulum of length 1.00m and keeps accurate time at a location where g=9.83 m/s squared. In a location where g=9.78 m/s squared, what must be the new length of the pendulum,such that the clock continues to keep accurate time(that is,its period remains the same)?

I tried using this formula L= Tsquaredg/4pisquared, but im not receiving the right answer…
