Answer:
The mass of the object involved and the value of the gravitational acceleration
Explanation:
- Gravitational potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an object in a gravitational field due to its position with respect to the ground:

where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the heigth of the object with respect to the ground.
- Elastic potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an elastic object and it is given as:

where k is the spring constant of the elastic object, while x is the compression/stretching of the spring with respect to the equilibrium position.
As we can see from the equations, both types of energy depends on the relative position of the object/end of the spring with respect to a certain reference position (h in the first formula, x in the second formula), but gravitational potential energy also depends on m (the mass) and g (the gravitational acceleration) while the elastic energy does not.
Answer:
The deformation is 0.088289 m
The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m
Explanation:
Thermal coefficient of marble varies between (5.5 - 14.1) ×10⁻⁶/K = α
So, let us take the average value
(5.5+14.1)/2 = 9.8×10⁻⁶ /K
Change in temperature = 35-(-18) = 53 K = ΔT
Original length = 170 m = L
Linear thermal expansion

The deformation is 0.088289 m
The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m (subtraction because of cooling)
Density =mass/Volume
0.8=mass/60
Mass=0.8*60
Mass=48g
