Question

A spring, with a certain load suspended on it, is carried to the Moon. Thus the load decreases due to less gravitation of the Moon. What change occurs in its extension. Give reasons for your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

Gravity is a constant force. ... Although gravity affects what the equilibrium extension will be, it is not the restoring force, so it does not affect the period of oscillation of a mass on a spring. However, gravity does affect the period of a pendulum.
