Question

A mass of 429g is on a horizontal surface with mu_k=0.160, and is in contact with a lightweight spring with a spring constant of 646N/m which is compressed. When the spring is released, it does 5.46J of work on the mass while returning to its equilibrium position. Calculate the distance the spring was compressed.

Explanation / Answer

0.5*K*A^2 = 5.46

0.5*646*A^2 = 5.46

A = 0.13 m

A = 13 cm
