Question
A0.96kg block is shot horizontally from a spring, as in the example above, and travels0.465m up a long a frictionless ramp before coming to rest and sliding back down. If the ramp makes an angle of 45.0? with respect to the horizontal, and the spring originally was compressed by0.2m, find the spring constant.
N/m
Explanation / Answer
0.5*k*0.2^2=0.96*9.81*0.465*1/sqrt(2) k=154.827
