Question:

Figure P8.49 shows two springs attached to a block that can slide on a friction less surface. In the block's equilibrium position, the left spring is compressed by 2.0 cm.

k,= 10 N/m www FIGURE P8.49 _k = 20 N/m w

a. By how much is the right spring compressed? 

b. What is the net force on the block if it is moved 15 cm to the right of its equilibrium position?
