An inclined plane of angle e = 20.0° has a spring of force constant k = 520 N/m fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown in the figure below. A block of mass m = 2.45 kg is placed on the plane at a distance d = 0.288 m from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed v = 0.750 m/s. By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?

Question
An inclined plane of angle e = 20.0° has a spring of force constant k = 520 N/m fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown in the figure below. A block of mass m = 2.45
kg is placed on the plane at a distance d = 0.288 m from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed v = 0.750 m/s. By what distance is the spring compressed
when the block momentarily comes to rest?
