A box with a mass of 5 kg is moving down the inclined plane at a constant speed of 6 m/s. The coefficient of friction between the box and the surface of the incline is us = 0.25 and μk = 0.15. At the bottom of the incline, a spring is present to stop the box. The spring constant is k = 4 N/mm. What is the maximum force in the spring after the box hits it?

System of Forces

A force is an external influence or agent that changes the state of a system. According to Newton's second law, the force applied to a body is proportional to the change in momentum of a body. Hence, whenever a force is applied to a body, its momentum changes. If the body is at rest, under the action of force, its state of rest changes to motion. In other words, the magnitude of the momentum of the body changes from zero to a measurable value. Similarly, if the body possesses some initial velocity, it has some associated momentum, the effect of force can cause the body to halt or come to rest, that is, the momentum reduces to zero.
