Solution

When calculating the mass of galaxy clusters using the velocity distribution method, it is generally assumed that the shape of the galaxy clusters is spherical and they do not contract nor expand over time. This assumption is based on the principle of virial equilibrium, which states that in a stable, self-gravitating system like a galaxy cluster, the kinetic energy of the galaxies moving within the cluster is balanced by the potential energy of the system. This balance implies that the system is in a steady state, neither contracting nor expanding.
