The 60−N weight object initially at rest slides down the smooth ramp and is stopped by the spring. The static friction coefficient between the object and the ramp is μk = 0.10. If the object is to remain 0.6 m away from the point of contact (this means shortening the spring by 0.6 m) what is the required spring constant k ? [40 P]
