Gravity and periods of oscillation

[dboy83]

a mass hanging from a vertical spring and a simple pendulum each have a period of oscillation of 1 sec. If you were to take these devices to another planet where the acceleration due to gravity is greater than on earth, would the period of each device be greater than 1 sec , less than 1 sec, or the same? why?

Is this a homework question? What do you think the answer is?

Imagine you are on a planet with EXTREMELY strong gravity. Picture this in your mind.
