How much work does gravity do on the compressor during this displacement?

Explanation and Examples

let the mass of the compressor be

mass (m):

height in x axis is (h1)

height in y axis be (h2):

Height difference: h2-h1

displacement x force:

mass x gravity x height

(m)*9.8*(height difference) = ___ J

Since gravity is forcing down, it would be negative!

Put the values that you require and get the answer.

W = mg × (r₂ - r₁)

Explanation:

Work done is the product of force acting and the displacement. In this case, we have to find the work done by the gravity on the compressor during displacement.

Let r₁ and r₂ are the initial and the final position of the body. So, displacement will be, r₂ - r₁.

Work done, W = F × d

Since, F = mg

W = mg × (r₂ - r₁)

Hence, the work done by the gravity on the compressor is " mg × (r₂ - r₁) Joules".

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
