A block of mass m = 7.10 kg is released from rest at a height of H = 3.00 m on a curved frictionless ramp. At the foot of the ramp is a spring whose spring constant is k = 238.0 N/m. What is the maximum compression of the spring, x?

Question

matt101 · Answer

All the gravitational potential energy of the block at the beginning will be converted into elastic potential energy at the end. This means:

$$mgh={1 \over 2}kx^2$$

Solve for x and you'll have your answer!
