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?
