A 3.2-kg block is released 34m from a massless spring with force constant 178N/m that is fixed along a frictionless plane inclined at an angle of 27° above the horizontal. Find the maximum compression of the spring.
This is what I have tried so far.
equation (1) (1/2 mv^2) = (1/2 kx^2)
equation (2) (1/2 mv^2)=d*mg(sin theta)
i used equation (2) to solve for v.
then using that value of v i solved (1)
my answer for x=2.333 meters, however that is wrong
