A box slides from rest down a frictionless ramp inclined at 30.0∘ with respect to the horizontal and is stopped at the bottom of the ramp by a spring with a spring constant of k = 4.00×104 N/m. If the box has a mass of 12.0 kg and slides 3.00 m from the point of release to the point where it comes to rest against the spring, determine the compression (in m ) of the spring when the box comes to rest. m

A box slides from rest down a frictionless ramp inclined at 30.0 with respect to the horizontal and is stopped at the bottom of the ramp by a spring with a spring constant of k = 4.00 × 10 4 N / m .
If the box has a mass of 12.0 k g and slides 3.00 m from the point of release to the point where it comes to rest against the spring, determine the compression (in m ) of the spring when the box comes to rest. m
