Q. What happens to the time period of a spring pendulum based clock kept on the earth when it is taken to moon?
Answer: No change
Notes: Time of a spring pendulum is independent of acceleration due to gravity. That is why a clock based on spring pendulum will keep proper time every where on a hill or moon or in a satellite and time period of a spring pendulum will not change inside a liquid if damping effects are neglected.
