Written out question:
Springs on the moon. This question is about the simple harmonic movment of a spring in various settings.
A) A mass oscillates on a vertical spring with period T. If the whole setup is moved to the Moon, how does the period change?
B) A spring is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator. When the elevator is at rest, the period is T. What happens to the period when the elevator is moving upward at a constant speed?
C) Same as in (b), but now what happens to the period when the elevator is accelerating upward?
Any help would be much appreciated!!!

What happens to the period when the elevator is moving upward at a constant speed? c. Same as in (b), but now what happens to the period when the elevator is accelerating upward?Explanation / Answer
A)
Period will not change, since period does not depend on acceleration due to gravity but on mass and spring constant
B)
Period will not change , since when elevator moves at constant speed , the equilibrium elongation is still same
C)
Period will not change
when the elevator accelerates upward, the equilibrium elongation of spring increases, but time period does not depend on longation , it depends on mass and spring constant and both are constant
