A spring is fixed to a board so that its hanging from it vertically. A 10 kg mass is attached to the spring and the spring stretches downwards 0.2 meters. You take the same board, spring, and mass to the moon. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.625 m/s2. How far would the spring stretch on the moon?
