Mass and weight — practice question

On the Earth, a spring extends by $5.0\,\text{cm}$ when a mass of $3.0\,\text{kg}$ is hung from one end. The gravitational field strength on the Moon is $\frac{1}{6}$ of that on the Earth. Which mass, on the Moon, would cause the spring to have the same extension?

  • A$0.50\,\text{kg}$
  • B$3.0\,\text{kg}$
  • C$5.0\,\text{kg}$
  • D$18\,\text{kg}$
