The block in Figure 7-11a lies on a horizontal frictionless surface and is attached to the free end of the spring, with a spring constant of 40 N/m. Initially, the spring is at its relaxed length and the block is stationary at position x = 0. Then an applied force with a constant magnitude of 2.8 N pulls the block in the positive direction of the x axis, stretching the spring until the block stops.
Assume that the stopping point is reached.
(a) What is the position of the block?
please someone help me with this problem, its been so annoying. i figured you were to use Hooke's Law to solve it, plugging in 2.8 N for the force and 40 N/m for k. doing this gives you .07. however, the answer is not .07 because it tells me i am wrong when i put that in. does anyone know where i went wrong?
