Question

A simple instrument for measuring the acceleration of gravity employs a linear spring from which a mass is suspended. At a location on earth where the acceleration of gravity is 32.174 ft/s232.174\ \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}^2, the spring extends 0.291 in0.291\ \mathrm{in}. If the spring extends 0.1160.116 in. when the instrument is on Mars, find the Martian acceleration of gravity. How much would the spring extend on the moon, where g=5.471 ft/s2\mathrm{g}=5.471\ \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}^2?
