Question

An inclined plane of angle θhas a spring of force constant k fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown. 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.

  1. Calculate By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest? develop an equation for x.
  2. x when θ=30.0° , k = 1 kN/m, m = 5 kg, d = 0.5 m, and v =1 m/s.
  3. If we add another spring in series, by what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?
  4. If we add another spring in parallel, by what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?
The image illustrates a block of mass \( m \) sliding down an inclined plane, which is positioned at an angle \( \theta \) to the horizontal. The block is initially at a distance \( d \) from a spring with spring constant \( k \). The velocity of the block is indicated by the red arrow labeled \( \vec{v} \).

Key Elements:
- **Inclined Plane**: The plane is sloped at an angle \( \theta \).
- **Block**: Mass \( m \) is placed on the inclined plane.
- **Distance**: The distance \( d \) is marked from the block to the spring.
- **Spring**: Positioned at the bottom of the incline with spring constant \( k \).
- **Velocity**: The block moves with velocity \( \vec{v} \) directed down the slope.

The diagram is useful for understanding concepts in mechanics such as gravitational force components along an incline, spring potential energy, and kinematics of motion on an incline.
