Question
A spring attached with a mass m oscillates with a frequency f. What will be the frequency when the same is taken to the moon? Why?

Answer

Frequency of a mass attached to a spring is $\text{f}=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{\text{k}}{\text{m}}}.$
It is independent of acceleration due to gravity. So, the frequency is not affected on the surface of moon.
