Based on Atwoods machine. A student goes to planet x and wants to determine the gravity there. The student knows from physics lab they can use Atwood’s machine to determine gravity. The student places a 100 gram mass and a 110 gram mass at the end of the string and hangs it over a pulley. The student places the 100 gram mass one meter above the ground and times its fall as being 0.3 seconds. What is the gravity on planet X?
