Answer:
d²x/dt² = - 4dx/dt - 4x is the required differential equation.
Explanation:
Since the spring force F = kx where k is the spring constant and x its extension = 2.45 equals the weight of the 4 kg mass,
F = mg
kx = mg
k = mg/x
= 4 kg × 9.8 m/s²/2.45 m
= 39.2 kgm/s²/2.45 m
= 16 N/m
Now the drag force f = 16v where v is the velocity of the mass.
We now write an equation of motion for the forces on the mass. So,
F + f = ma (since both the drag force and spring force are in the same direction)where a = the acceleration of the mass
-kx - 16v = 4a
-16x - 16v = 4a
16x + 16v = -4a
4x + 4v = -a where v = dx/dt and a = d²x/dt²
4x + 4dx/dt = -d²x/dt²
d²x/dt² = - 4dx/dt - 4x which is the required differential equation
That's the definition of the property called "density".

Answer:
The object would weight 63 N on the Earth surface
Explanation:
We can use the general expression for the gravitational force between two objects to solve this problem, considering that in both cases, the mass of the Earth is the same. Notice as well that we know the gravitational force (weight) of the object at 3200 km from the Earth surface, which is (3200 + 6400 = 9600 km) from the center of the Earth:
Now, if the body is on the surface of the Earth, its weight (w) would be:
Now we can divide term by term the two equations above, to cancel out common factors and end up with a simple proportion:
