Problem

A spring balance is calibrated on the Earth (

g = 9.8\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}

) to read mass directly. When an object is hung, it reads

5.0\,\text{kg}

on the Earth. The balance is then taken to a planet where

g = 6.0\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}

and the same object is hung again. What will be the reading shown by the balance on that planet?
