An instrument to measure the acceleration of gravity on Mars is constructed of a spring from which is suspended a mass of 0.4 kg. At a place on earth where the local acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 , the spring extends 1.08 cm. When the instrument package is landed on Mars, it radios the information that the spring is extended 0.40 cm. What is the Martian acceleration of gravity?

The Martian acceleration of gravity (as measured by this jury-rigged device) is

(0.4 cm/1.08 cm) x (9.81 m/s²)

That's  3.63 m/s² .

Google says  3.711 m/s², so I guess that's not too bad.  

Only about 2% wrong.

The Martian acceleration of gravity will be 3.63 m/s².

What is gravitation?

Gravitation is a natural law by which all things with all matter are attracted towards one another. Gravity is responsible for large-scale structures present in the Universe.

Given data;

Mass of object to measure,m = 0.4 kg

Acceleration of gravity on earth is

L is the spring extension on earth = 1.08 cm

Lâ‚“ is the spring extension on the moon = 1.40 cm

The Martian acceleration of gravity is,gâ‚“

According to this improvised instrument, the acceleration of gravity on Mars is;

gₓ = (Lₓ/L)×g

gₓ = (0.4 cm/1.08 cm) x (9.81 m/s²)

gₓ = 3.63 m/s² .

Hence, the Martian acceleration of gravity will be 3.63 m/s².
