A block of mass (2 kg) starts at rest on a plane inclined (35 degrees) above the horizontal. The kinetic coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is (0.15). After being released, the block travels a distance of (2.3 m) down the plane before reaching the bottom of the plane. At the bottom of the inclined plane is a horizontal spring with spring constant of (7 N/m). How far is the spring compressed when the block collides with it?

Question

A block of mass (2 kg) starts at rest on a plane inclined (35 degrees) above the horizontal. The kinetic coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is (0.15). After being released, the block travels a distance of (2.3 m) down the plane before reaching the bottom of the plane. At the bottom of the inclined plane is a horizontal spring with spring constant of (7 N/m).

How far is the spring compressed when the block collides with it?
