The question is straightforward, predict what an accelerometer signal would show.
Reading Benja’s answers, I think my issue was that I thought “apparatus” referred to the accelerometer, not the large magnet used in S-G. Replacing that word with “large magnet” makes the intended question clear to me, and I see how to answer it with just QM.
