Expert Answer
Dear student
An atrifical satellite constitutes a freely falling body.
Hence the effective g inside a satellite is zero.
Since g proportional to 
, so if g = 0, its time period becomes infinite. That is the pendulum will not oscillate. Or in other words it will oscillate with a time period of infinity.
