Question

1) A 5-kg block is subjected to a force F = 500 N. A spring of stiffness k = 500 N/m is mounted against the block. When s = 0, the block is at rest and the spring is uncompressed. The contact surface is smooth. a) Draw the FBD of the block. a) Find the acceleration of the block when s = 10 cm. Show steps of your solution. b) Find the normal force to the surface. Show steps of your solution. F = 500 N k = 500 N/m
