A block of mass m = 8.30 kg slides down from an inclined frictionless ramp that forms an angle θ = 26.50∘ with the ground. A long spring with a relaxed length s0 = 1.99 m and a spring constant k = 537.98 N/m is situated at the base of the ramp. The block started at a distance d = 3.06 m from the tip of the relaxed spring, with initial velocity of v = 9.42 m/s. What is the length of the spring when the block compresses the spring and temporarily comes to a rest on the ramp? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
