A spring on Earth has a 0.500 kg mass suspended from one end and the mass is displaced by 0.3 m. What will the displacement of t

he same mass on the same spring be on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one sixth that of Earth? Show your work.

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Force of gravity given by Newton's second law (which defines the weight of an object) and at the same time we will apply the Hooke relation that talks about the strength of a body in a system with spring.

The extension of the spring due to the weight of the object on Earth is 0.3m, then

F_k = F_{W,E}

kx_1 = mg

The extension of the spring due to the weight of the object on Moon is a value of x_2, then

kx_2 = mg_m

Recall that gravity on the moon is a sixth of Earth's gravity.

kx_2 = m\frac{g}{6}

kx_2 = \frac{1}{6} mg

kx_2 = \frac{1}{6} kx_1

x_2 = \frac{1}{6} x_1

We have that the displacement at the earth was x_1 = 0.3m, then

x_2 = \frac{1}{6} 0.3

x_2 = 0.05m

Therefore the displacement of the mass on the spring on Moon is 0.05m
