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
