Question

A block of mass (M = 11.8 , ext{kg}) is held at rest at the bottom of a (21.7^circ) incline. It has been placed in contact with a spring ((k = 2504 , ext{N/m})) that has been compressed (25.5 , ext{cm}) from its unstretched position. When the block and spring are released, the block goes a total distance (D) up the incline before coming to rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is (0.351).

Step 1

The gravitational force acting on the block along the incline can be calculated using the formula: \(F_{\text{gravity}} = M \cdot g \cdot \sin(\theta)\), where \(M = 11.8 \, \text{kg}\) is the mass of the block, \(g = 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2\) is the acceleration due Show more…
