A curious astronaut took her bathroom scale (a spring scale) and a beam scale (compares masses) to the moon. On Earth, she determined that her mass was 124 lbm. The gravitational acceleration on the moon is a = 5.3 ft/s2. When she reaches the moon:
a.) What will she weigh on the spring scale?
b.) What will the beam scale indicate for her mass?

: You are abducted by aliens and find yourself locked in a large room on some strangeplanet. To pass the time, you decide to do some experiments using a ball-and-chain thatyou find on the floor. You make the following estimates:mBALL 7 kg ,mCHAIN 0.5 kg, and CHAIN 2 m .(a) When you hold the free end of the chain above your head and allow the ball to swinglike a pendulum, you use your wristwatch to measure the period asT 4 s. What is theacceleration due to gravity on this planet?(b) If the ball accidentally hits a wall, how long does it take for this jolt in the chain totravel up to your hand?
