ANSWER:

Problem F14-5

When s = 0.6 m, the spring is unstretched and the 10-kg block has a speed of 5 m/s down the smooth plane. Determine the distance s when the block stops. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

                                                        Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 2

The mass of the block is  

The length of the spring is

The speed of the block is  

The spring constant is  

The force applied to the block is  

The angle of the inclination is  

Let the block stops at  distance from the initial position.

The expression for the distance  using the principal of work and energy is given by:

 

Substitute the given values into the above equation:

 

On solving the quadratic equation, we have
