Detailed explanation-1: -The frequency of the pendulum is expressed as the inverse of the time period of the pendulum. Therefore decreasing the time period of the pendulum will increase the frequency of the oscillation of the pendulum, when it is taken to the surface of the Jupiter.
Detailed explanation-2: -In particular, if the force of gravity is small, there is less force pulling the pendulum downward, the pendulum moves more slowly toward vertical, and the observed period of oscillation becomes longer. Thus, by measuring the period of oscillation of a pendulum, we can estimate the gravitational force or acceleration.
Detailed explanation-3: -As Jupiter has more gravity compared to Earth, time moves slower on Jupiter compared to Earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -The time period is inversely proportional to the gravitational pull or ‘g. ‘ When a simple pendulum is taken to the moon from the earth, its pull decreases. This will lead to an increase in the time period.
Detailed explanation-5: -At the top of mount Everest the acceleration due to gravity is slightly smaller that that at the sea level. Therefore, the period of pendulum up on top of Mt. Everest will be slightly greater that the period measured in the lab.
