A 2.00 kilogram package is released on a 53.1 degree incline, L =4.14 meter from a long spring with force constant 120 N/m that is attached at the bottom of the incline. The coefficients of friction between the package and the incline are µs = 0.40 and µk= 0.20. The mass of the spring is negligible.
(a) Find the speed of the package just before it reaches the spring?
m/s
(b) Obtain what is the maximum compression of the spring?
m
(c) The package rebounds back up the incline. Determine how close does it get to its initial position?
m
