Transcribed Image Text:An object with mass m is being held stationary on a ramp of angle by both the force of static
friction, and a spring with constant k that has been compressed a distance d from its equilibrium
position (as shown below). Find an expression for the force of static friction in terms of the
variables given (and g).

Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduction
We are given mass attached to spring. We are given the spring constant and angle of inclination. We are given that the mass is held at equilibrium.
This means that the static friction balances the force of spring and the component of weight down the slope. This is made clear with a free-body diagram.
