A spring is attached to an inclined plane as shown in the figure. A block of mass m = 2.61 kg is placed on the incline at a distance d = 0.279 m along the incline from the end of the spring. The block is given a quick shove and moves down the incline with an initial speed v = 0.750 m/s. The incline angle is θ = 20.0°, the spring constant is k = 535 N/m, and we can assume the surface is frictionless. By what distance (in m) is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest

Question
A spring is attached to an inclined plane as shown in the figure. A block of mass
m = 2.61 kg
is placed on the incline at a distance
d = 0.279 m
along the incline from the end of the spring. The block is given a quick shove and moves down the incline with an initial speed
v = 0.750 m/s.
The incline angle is
θ = 20.0°,
the spring constant is
k = 535 N/m,
and we can assume the surface is frictionless. By what distance (in m) is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?

Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Description
A spring is attached to an inclined plane as shown in the figure. A block of mass \( m = 2.61 \, \text{kg} \) is placed on the incline at a distance \( d = 0.279 \, \text{m} \) along the incline from the end of the spring. The block is given a quick shove and moves down the incline with an initial speed \( v = 0.750 \, \text{m/s} \). The incline angle is \( \theta = 20.0^\circ \), the spring constant is \( k = 535 \, \text{N/m} \), and we can assume the surface is frictionless. By what distance (in m) is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?
### Diagram Explanation
The diagram illustrates a spring attached horizontally to an inclined plane. There is a block of mass \( m \) located on the incline. An arrow indicates the initial velocity \( \vec{v} \) of the block down the incline. The distance \( d \) represents the initial displacement of the block from the spring. The spring is indicated by a zig-zag line, symbolizing its potential to compress. The angle \( \theta \) denotes the inclination angle of the plane with respect to the horizontal ground.
