Question

The 10 kg block shown is released from rest on the horizontal surface at point B, where the spring has been stretched a distance of 0.5 m from its neutral position A. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is 0.30. Calculate (a) the velocity v of the block as it passes point A and (b) the maximum distance x to the left of A that the block goes

Answer 1

Ans. (a) v = 2.13 m/s, (b) x = 0.304 m
