In the Theorem of Pappus, the center of mass is always locatedinside the region or area of the figure. b. In addition, the center of mass is always equal to the geometric centroid. a. For springs obeying Hooke's Law, the work required to compress the material by dx distance is always less than the requirement to stretch it by the same dx distance. b. The spring constant is dependent on the amount of force required to stretch it by somex distance. 2. a. As two objects move farther away from each other, the forceof attraction between them decreases. b. Thus, if the force of attraction decreases with distance, the workshall decrease as well. 3. a.
