A simple pendulum has a time period “T” in Murree. In Karachi, it has a different time period. What would you do to make its time period the same as it was in Murree?

The time period depends on gravitational acceleration, which is slightly lower at higher altitudes like Murree. To make it the same in Karachi, the length of the pendulum should be slightly increased.
