An inclined plane of angle
θ = 20.0°
has a spring of force constant
k = 525 N/m
fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown in the figure below. A block of mass
m = 2.31 kg
is placed on the plane at a distance
d = 0.312 m
from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed
v = 0.750 m/s.
By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?
I used equation 1/2mv^2+mgh=1/2kx^2 and got x=.084, which was incorrect.
