An inclined plane of angle 20∘ has a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown. A block of mass 2.60 kg is placed on the plane at a distance d = 0.300 m from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed v = 0.750 m/s. By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?

  1. An inclined plane of angle 20 has a spring of force constant k = 500 N / m fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown. A block of mass 2 . 6 0 k g is placed on the plane at a distance d = 0.300 m from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed v = 0.750 m / s . By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?
