A mass hanging from a vertical spring and a simple pendulum each have a period of oscillation of 1 second on the earth. If you were to take these devices to another planet where the acceleration due to gravity is greater than on earth, state whether the period of each device is greater than 1 sec, less than 1 sec, or the same. Explain your reasoning.

another planet where the acceleration due to gravity is
greater than on earth, state whether the period of each
device is greater than 1 sec, less than 1 sec, or the
same. Explain your reasoning.
