    Unknown mass being pushed up ramp until it hits spring

    I took your advice (assuming I did it right) and found the height to be (0.6m)sin40= .386m and plugged into back into the previous equation by getting the mass approximately equal to 2.53 kg. I hope that's right lol

    Unknown mass being pushed up ramp until it hits spring

    So would the equation be 1/2mvi^2+0+0=0+mgHf+1/2kx^2? if so how would I find the final height in order to get the mass?

    Unknown mass being pushed up ramp until it hits spring

    I wasn't sure in what direction the net force was since the object was at rest, but the net force moving parallel to the slope seems the most logical answer. Thanks for your reply!

    Unknown mass being pushed up ramp until it hits spring

    Homework Statement A force F pushes a block of mass m up a frictionless incline as shown below. The block moves at a constant speed of 6.00 m/s until it contacts the relaxed spring which has a spring constant k = 200 N/m. At the point where the block touches the spring, the force is...
