Problem

In 1969 Neil Armstrong dropped a spanner whilst standing on the surface of the Moon, where acceleration due to gravity is

\frac{1}{6}

of the Earth's. The time it took to fall to the Moon's surface was: (1)

\frac{1}{6}

of the time it would have taken on the Earth (2)

\sqrt{\frac{1}{6}}

times the time it would have taken on the Earth (3) 6 times the time it would have taken on the Earth (4)

\sqrt{6}

times the time it would have taken on the Earth
