010 0 1 20 5. A block whose weight is 48 newtons slides from rest down a frictionless plane that is inclined 30 to the horizontal. It then moves across a level frictionless surface and collides with a perfect spring. The block compresses the spring from its equilibrium position before coming momentarily to rest. The spring constant is 3200 newtons per meter and the length of the plane is 24 meters, as shown. Neglect any energy losses due to friction during the collision. (a) Find the maximum distance that the spring was compressed from equilibrium. (b) Find the speed of the block just before it collides with the spring. 24 m Return 30
