Astronauts in deep space took a light, coiled spring of known spring constant, attached a mass...
#1. ["Massing' Astronauts) Inside the International Space Station orbiting Earth, ordinary scales don't work for measuring weight since the space station is in free fall. However, the masses of astronauts can be determined using an oscillatory device known as an inertia balance that relies on springs rather than gravity for its restoring force. A 22.5 kg chair attached to a spring takes 1.30 s to complete one cycle of oscillation. With an astronaut sitting in the oscillating chair with feet...
