A small block, with a mass of 4 kg, starts from rest at the top
of the apparatus shown above. It then slides without friction down the incline, across the
first level section, around the loop and then onto the final level section on the right. It then
collides with a spring and compresses it, which momentarily brings the block to a stop. The
maximum height of the incline is 5 m, the radius of the loop is 1.0 m and the spring
constant is 120 N/m.
