a 245-kg boulder is dropped into a mine shaft thats is 3.0x10^3 m deep. During the boulder's fall, the system consisting of the earth and boulder loses a certain amount of gravitational potential energy. it would take an equal amount of energy to "free" the boulkder from the shaft by raising it back up to the top, so this can be considered the system's binding energy (a) determine the binding energy in joules of the system and (b) how much mass does the system lose when the boulder falls to the bottom of the shaft?
