I have calculated 10*9.8*sin35 = 56.21 - 10*9.8*cos35*0.1 = 48.18 * 3M = 144.54N. This is the only way I have been able to find to do this. I'm not sure how to deal with the 1 kg block which sits at the end of the spring. The calculated mass will be exerted against the 1 kg block, which in...

Block 1 is at rest, distance is 3M to Block 2. I am unsure if the the '(9.8*10) 3 (cos 35)' can be used, as well as how to integrate the coefficient of 0.1 for ufk. Finally, how to deal with this force when it meets block 2 (1 kg) which separates Block 1 from the spring. Thanks.

Homework Statement Block 1 slides down an slope to hit block 2, which compresses a spring. How much compression does the spring experience? Mass - block 1=10 kg, block 2 = 1 kg, spring constant = 500 N, angle = 35, acceleration due to gravity=9.8 m/s, ukf = 0.1 Homework Equations...
