Classical Gravitation.
Two point masses of mass m are held and are connected by an spring of natural length L. Now, the blocks are released. The compression in spring at equllibrium position is X. Find X(in metres). X is an integer.
Data:
L= 2 metres
G = 6.67 * 10^(-11) N*m^2/kg^2
Spring constant, k= 6.67*10^(-3) N/m
m=10^4 kg
The answer is 1.
