A mass (m = 3 kg) is connected to a spring of constant k (k = 50 N/m), where the mass is connected at the top to a spring on a fixed incline. The coefficient of static friction between the mass and the incline is µ(subscript s) = 0.6 and the angle that the incline makes with the horizontal is theta = 20º. The mass is initially held in place so that the spring is at its natural length.
By what maximum amount can the mass be pulled up the incline and released and still have the mass in static equilibrium? Write your final answer as x(subscript s) = ___ centimeters.
Currently I have the equation set up for the force of gravity + force of the spring = force of friction, with 13.05 cm as my disposition. Is this correct and if not then why.
