Question
A mass sitting on a horizontal, frictionless surface is attached to one end of a spring; the other end is fixed to a wall. 8.0 J of work is required to compress the spring by 0.17 m. If the mass is released from rest with the spring compressed, it experiences a maximum acceleration of 11 m/s2.
(a) Find the value of the spring constant.
(b) Find the value of the mass.
(a) Find the value of the spring constant.
(b) Find the value of the mass.

when compressed work=1/2 k x^2 solve for k.
Force=kx=ma solve for mass m
Force=kx=ma solve for mass m
