A 2.0 kg box rests on a plank that is inclined at an angle of 65° above the horizontal. The upper end of the box is attached to a spring with a force constant of 16 N/m, as shown in Figure 6-38. If the coefficient of static friction between the box and the plank is 0.28, what is the maximum amount the spring can be stretched and the box remain at rest?

  • Block on Frictionless Incline

    A 12 kg block is released from rest on a 30 degree frictionless incline. Below is a block that can be compressed 2.0 cm by a force of 270 N. The block momentarily stops when it compresses the spring by 5.5 cm.

  • Rotational kinetic energy and spring

    A 0.50-kg block is pressed against the spring, compressing it 0.20 m from its equilibrium position. The block is then released. If the block is not attached to the spring, how far along the incline will it travel before it stops? 32.

  • Mechanical Energy: Block Projected up the Incline by Spring

    70065 Mechanical Energy: Block Projected up the Incline by Spring A block with mass m = 2.00 kg is placed against a spring on a frictionless incline with angle = 30.0° (Figure 8-43). (The block is not attached to the spring.)

  • Speed of Blocks on an Incline

    18377 Speed of Blocks on an Incline A block, mass = m1, lies on an incline of angle theta, and is connected to a second block of mass m2=3/2 m by a string that passes over a light frictionless pulley.

  • Distance the block slide up inclined ramp before it comes to rest

    What distance will the block slide up the ramp before it comes to rest? b. What is the potential energy of the block when it comes to rest on the incline? Please refer to the attachment for layout of ramp, block and spring.

  • Conservation of energy: Spring block on an incline.

    52730 Conservation of Energy: Spring Block on an Incline An object of mass m starts from rest and slides a distance d down a frictionless incline of angle. While sliding, it contacts an unstressed spring of negligible mass as shown in Figure.

  • Work and Energy: Speed of block, maximum compression of spring, block rebounds

    9323 Speed of block, maximum compression of spring, block rebounds On an incline a 2.00 kg block is released 4.00m from a long spring with a force constant k= 60.0 N/m that is attached at the bottom of the incline.

  • Friction

    A 2.00 kg block situated on a rough incline is connected to a spring of negligible mass having a spring constant of 100 N/m (Fig. P5.76). The block is released from rest when the spring is unstretched, and the pulley is frictionless.

  • Springs and Inclined Planes

    The coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the incline is 0.25. Determine the change in kinetic energy of block A as it moves from C to D, a distance of 20 m up the incline if the system starts from rest.
