Okay so we have a block attached to a spring with a spring constant of 50 N/m. The spring is in the relaxed state.
We apply a force 3N along the positive x direction. The block moves along the x axis,stretching the spring until the block finally stops.
What is the block's displacement?
When the block is stopped the force of the spring on the block should be -3 Newtons. Using the formula F=-kx
I get the answer 3/50=0.06m. The book's answer is 0.12m.
What exactly am I doing wrong?
