An inclined plane that makes an angle of 30 degrees withthe horizontal has a spring of springconstant 8400 N/m at the bottom. A 2.2-kg block released near the top of the planemoves down the plane and compresses the spring a maximumof 0.0360 m from its relaxed length.

A) Ignoring any frictionaleffects, calculate the distance the leading edge of the blocktravels from the instant the block is released to the instant itbriefly stops against the compressed spring.?

B) Now suppose there is friction between the block and thesurface of the plane, with ?k = 0.10. Ifthe block is again placed somewhere on the plane and allowed toslide down and compress the spring by thesame 0.0360 m , how far does the leading edgeof the block travel now?
