A 2.3 kg block is attached to a horizontal spring of spring constant k : 36.0 N/m and is free to slide along a frictionless surface. The spring is stretched, and the block is released from rest. The maximum acceleration of the block is observed to be 1.50 m/s². How far from equilibrium was the spring initially stretched?

You pull on a string with a horizontal force of magnitude Fyb = 69 N that is attached to a block of mass m 6 kg, then to the axle of a solid cylinder of mass me = 4.4 kg and radius r = 0.5 m, then to a spring of spring constant k = 115 N/m. This is all done on an inclined plane where there is friction (μs = 0.65 and μk = 0.36), and the incline angle is 0 = 30 degrees. Everything starts at rest, and the spring is unstretched.
