<span>Yes, there are! r1 and r2 are numbers. The volume of the hollow shell is 4 π 3 ( r 3 1 − r 3 2 ) 4π3(r13−r23). Now multiply by ρ to get the mass.</span>
In the first case, the force acting on the spring is the weight of the mass:
This force causes a stretching of
on the spring, so we can use these data to find the spring constant:
In the second case, the first mass is replaced with a second mass, whose weight is
And since we know the spring constant, we can calculate the new elongation of the spring:
