A second's pendulum (which has a time period of exactly 2 seconds on Earth) is taken to the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth of that on Earth. To maintain its time period of 2 seconds on the Moon, what adjustment must be made to its length?
Options:
- A: Its length must be increased to 6 times its original length.
- B: Its length must be reduced to one-sixth of its original length.
- C: Its length must be reduced to 1/sqrt(6) of its original length.
- D: Its length must be kept unchanged.
