5m μ 7. A mass m = 2 kg is released from the top of an incline plane 5 m long and at an angle of 37° to the horizontal. The mass slips to the bottom of the incline, strikes a spring which compresses and projects the mass back up. The coefficient of friction between the mass and the incline is μ = 0.2. Using energy principles, find how far back up the incline the mass m moves before it comes to rest. 700002 k 37° E m

Suppose a stretched spring is used to supply power to a light bulb. The spring has a spring constant k=34.0 N/m and is stretched from its equilibrium length (which is the length where the spring force is zero) by a length 2.24 m. If the spring returns to its equilibrium length in 55.3 seconds, what is the average power in Watts that could be transferred from the spring to the light bulb?
