If you have an ideal spring with a mass m on it, and you measure a spring constant of
8 N/m, what do you expect to happen to the spring constant if you (be realistic):
a. Take it to the moon
b. Take it to the sun
Would the constant remain the same for both a and b?
the spring constant is a physical characteristic of the spring
... material, shape, length, etc.
the different gravities of the moon and sun won't change the constant
