Horizontal range of a projectile $$\displaystyle{R}={V}^{{2}}{\frac{{{\sin{{2}}}\theta}}{{{g}}}}$$
From equation $$\displaystyle{R}\approx{\frac{{{1}}}{{{g}}}}$$ and so
If $$\displaystyle{g}_{{{m}\infty{n}}}={\frac{{{1}}}{{{6}}}}{g}_{{{e}{a}{r}{t}{h}}}$$
If $$\displaystyle{R}_{{{m}\infty{n}}}=$$ six time $$\displaystyle{R}_{{{e}{a}{r}{t}{h}}}$$

As depicted in the applet, Albertine finds herself in a very odd contraption. She sits in a reclining chair, in front of a large, compressed spring. The spring is compressed 5.00 m from its equilibrium position, and a glass sits 19.8m from her outstretched foot.
a)Assuming that Albertine's mass is 60.0kg , what is $$\displaystyle\mu_{{k}}$$, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the waxed floor? Use $$\displaystyle{g}={9.80}\frac{{m}}{{s}^{{2}}}$$ for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Assume that the value of k found in Part A has three significant figures. Note that if you did not assume that k has three significant figures, it would be impossible to get three significant figures for $$\displaystyle\mu_{{k}}$$, since the length scale along the bottom of the applet does not allow you to measure distances to that accuracy with different values of k.
