Question:

A particle of mass 2 kg is being held in equilibrium on a smooth slope by a horizontal force, P, and a light, elastic spring. The spring has modulus of elasticity ION and is attached to the particle and also to the slope 1.5m up the slope from the particle. If the slope is inclined at 25°, and the force P is of magnitude 5 N, find the two possible natural lengths of the spring.
