the spring will be compressed by 0.3072 m
Explanation:
acceleration of elevator=3 m/s²
mass of student= 60 Kg
spring constant=2.5 x 10³ N/m
the force on the student is given by F = m ( g +a)
F=60 (9.8+3)
F=768 N
now the formula for spring force is given by
F= k x
768= 2.5 x 10³ (x)
x=0.3072 m
The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two<span> factors, mass and distance. the </span>force<span> of </span>gravity<span> the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the </span>force<span> of </span>gravity between<span> the </span>objects<span> is doubled. thats what i got..</span>
