I understand, but the fun fact I mentioned, that the relation between pi and g is not accidental, stems from the earlier attempt to define the meter via a pendulum. Yes it was refined later many times, and it's why the relation between pi and g is not precise.

Except it has little to do with the metre other than being an earlier attempt at an objective measurement.
