Measure the local value of the free-fall acceleration


An astronaut on a small planet wishes to measure the local value of the free-fall acceleration by timing pulses traveling down a wire that has an object of large mass suspended from it. Assume a wire has a mass of 4.40g and a length of 1.60 m, and that a 3.00 kg object is suspended from it. A pulse requires50.4ms to traverse the length of the wire. Calculate g planet from these data. (You may ignore the mass of the wire when calculating the tension in it.)
