A 600-g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant k =190.0 N/m. The block becomes attached to t

he spring and compresses the spring 37.5 cm before momentarily stopping. While the spring is being compressed, what work is done on the block by the gravitational force on it?

Answer:

Work done will be 2.205 j

Explanation:

We have given that the spring is compressed b 37.5 cm

So d = 0.375 m

Mass of the block m = 600 gram = 0.6 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Gravitational force on the block F=mg=0.6\times 9.8=5.88N

Now we know that work done is give by W=Fd=5.88\times 0.375=2.205J

Why does the earth bulge at the equator?
sattari [20]

centrifugal force is a fictitious force. What is happening is that since the earth itself is not a rigid body it will deform when under motion. Although gravity attempts to make the earth spherical, as it is rotating the earth deforms, in such away that it flattens to become an oblique spheroid. This happens as the material at the equator must have a net resultant centripetal force (not centrifugal) which causes its position of equilibrium from the center of the earth to be further away than at the poles as they do not have this force as they are not rotating around the center of mass.
