Ch7 VP2
**VP2.** An inclined plane of angle \( \theta \) has a spring of force constant \( k \) fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface. A block of mass \( m \) is placed on the plane at a distance \( d \) from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed \( v \) as shown in the figure below. By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?

**Figure Explanation:**
The diagram illustrates an inclined plane with angle \( \theta \). A block of mass \( m \) is shown on the plane, initially placed at a distance \( d \) from the spring. The spring, with a force constant \( k \), is secured at the bottom of the incline. An arrow indicates the initial velocity \( v \) with which the block is projected downward toward the spring. The spring is shown parallel to the plane, ready to be compressed as the block moves toward it.
