Consider two oscillating systems with equal periods on the Earth's surface: a simple pendulum (small oscillations) and a spring attached to a block. If they are taken to a planet whose acceleration due to gravity is given by g̃ = 36 g, where g = 10 m/s2 is the acceleration on Earth, what will be the ratio of the period of oscillation of the block attached to the spring (Tm) and that of the pendulum (Tp)? Choose the correct alternative:
