It'll still look like m · g but g won't be 9.8,
-
g will become 9.6 and 9.2 and 9.1,
-
it'll decrease.
-
But the variation of gravity in terrestrial experiments is pretty small
-
so we won't worry about it.
-
But the force of a spring definitely varies with x in a noticeable way.
-
The force of a spring is one concrete example;
-
it's what you all seem to recognize; it's this one .
-
So then, we have to ask
-
what is the Work Energy Theorem when the forces itself vary?
-
So, let's draw ourselves a force which is varying,
-
here is x, here is my force; it does something.
