    "abstract": "In the past, the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Earth, $g$,\nhas been measured in many ways. Various methods include the use of a pendulum\nas well as models involving the use of a mass on a spring. We have designed a\nnew method incorporating the mass-spring model with a capacitor, and a\ncapacitance meter. This capacitor model still uses a hanging mass on a spring,\nbut alters the method of determining the change in position of the mass\nattached to the spring caused by the gravitational acceleration. We relate the\nchange in position of mass to the capacitance across the two parallel plates.\nBy relating this capacitance directly to the gravitational acceleration, a new\nmethod of measuring $g$ is obtained.",
