Homework Statement
A 226g block is pressed against a spring of force constant 1.25kN/m until the block compresses the spring 14.3cm. The spring rests at the bottom of a ramp inclined at 62.5° to the horizontal. Using energy considerations, determine how far up the incline the block moves before it stops if there is no friction between the block and the ramp
EDIT b) and if kinetic friction co eff = 0.46
Homework Equations
This is where I am stuck, what equations do I even use?
The Attempt at a Solution
The issue is i don't know which equations i use or how to use them for this question.
DeltaU I believe is one of them which is 1/2 kx^2
