In the first case, the force acting on the spring is the weight of the mass:
This force causes a stretching of
on the spring, so we can use these data to find the spring constant:
In the second case, the first mass is replaced with a second mass, whose weight is
And since we know the spring constant, we can calculate the new elongation of the spring:

Answer:
D. the masses of the objects and the distance between them
Explanation:
Gravitation is a force, a force doesn't care about the shape or density of objects, only about their masses... and distances.
And you can get it using the following equation:
Where :
G is the universal gravitational constant : G = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2
m represent the mass of each of the two objects
d is the distance between the centers of the objects.
