Drop-load (III) 
This exercise is part of a series of problems aimed at modeling a situation by progressively refining our model to take into account more and more parameters. This progressive approach is very close to what professional scientists do!

context

We want to lower a suspended load in a controlled way so that it hits the ground with a speed whose modulus is not too great. To slow down the descent, a spring has been added behind the mass (A), The suspended load (B) is connected by a rope passing through a pulley to this mass (A), which slides on a horizontal surface with friction.

 

Information

The masses of the charges A and B are known.
The mass of the rope itself is negligible (very small compared to the loads).
The pulley has negligible mass and can rotate without friction.
The charge B is initially stationary and is at a known height h.
The surface on which mass A sits is tilted upwards at a known angle theta from the horizontal.
There is friction under mass A: the kinetic friction coefficient uc is known.
The string attached to mass A is perfectly parallel to the surface on which the mass is resting, as is the spring.
The spring is initially at its natural length and has a known spring constant k.

Schematization

Represent the initial and final states of the system, identifying an upward ?-axis for each object. This is especially important here :-)!

Modelization

Create a model for the modulus of the velocity with which load B will hit the ground given the known parameters only.

Then test your model with the following values:

Mass of the load A: 85kg

Mass of suspended load (B): 97kg

The initial height of suspended mass (h): 1.2m

Coefficient of friction under mass A: 0.15

Spring constant: 118.1 N/m

Angle of inclination of the surface on which the mass A is placed: 8.8 degrees
