Consider the system in Problem 92 and assume the coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and the incline is 0.17.
(a) At what position, measured from the starting point, does the maximum velocity occur?
(b) What is the maximum velocity attained by the mass at this point?
(c) What is now the maximum distance from the starting point that the mass will rise up the incline?
Data From Problem 92
A spring is mounted at angle u = 35° on a friction less incline as illustrated in Figure P6.92. The spring is compressed by 15 cm where it is allowed to propel a mass of 5.5 kg up the incline.
