Question
**Simple Pendulum Oscillation**

A small mass \( m \) is attached to a string of length \( L \) to create a simple pendulum that swings with a period \( T \).

**Question:**
Suppose the mass is cut in half, what might the new period of oscillation be?

- A. \( 2T \)
- B. \( \frac{T}{2} \)
- C. \( T \) (selected)
- D. \( \sqrt{2}T \)

**Additional Question:**
An alien on Pluto has the exact same pendulum. What is the period of oscillation of the alien's pendulum in terms of \( T \), given that the acceleration due to gravity on Pluto is \( \frac{1}{16} \) of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth?

\( T_{\text{Pluto}} = \) [Input Box]
