Homework Statement
How would F(g) and (delta) X change if the Spring experiment was done on the moon where the gravitational acceleration is six times smaller than on earth?
Homework Equations
F(g) = (delta) mg
F(s) = k(delta) X
The Attempt at a Solution
I would think that F(g) and (delta) X would be 6 times less on the moon because there would be less gravitational pull on the spring. So if F = 68600 g cm/sec^2 and X is 26.1 cm on earth, the F = 11433 g cm/sec^2and X = 4.35 cm on the moon.
Please help.I think I'm getting the concept confused. Thanks!
