Question
A spring with constant k in N / m is compressed to a length d in meters and a mass m in kilograms is
placed at its free end, on a frictionless slope that forms an angle 0 with respect to the horizontal as
shown in figure. After the spring is released, if the mass does not bind to the spring, it rises on the
inclined plane to a height h1 measured relative to the floor.
d
m
If we double the compression distance of the spring, keeping the spring constant, block mass and
inclination angle. How does the new maximum height h, which the block would reach, compare to the
height h1?
Note: Height h2 is measured from the same reference level as height h1.
a) It is not possible to compare the heights without more information.
b) The height h2 would be the same as the height h1
c) The height h2 would be less than the height h1
d) The height h2 would be greater than the height h1
