In the given figure below, a 3.5-kg block is sliding down a 600-rough incline. The speed of the block is 1.86 m/s at the instant it is 5.52 m from an uncompressed spring located at the other lower end of the incline. The spring has a spring or stiffness constant of 210 N/m and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is 0.45. (a) At what speed (in m/s) will the block strike the spring? (b) What would be the maximum compression (in m) of the spring? 5.52 m www 60⁰

Question
In the given figure below, a 3.5-kg block is sliding down a 600-rough incline. The speed of the block is 1.86 m/s at the instant it is 5.52 m from an
uncompressed spring located at the other lower end of the incline. The spring has a spring or stiffness constant of 210 N/m and the coefficient of
kinetic friction between the block and the incline is 0.45. (a) At what speed (in m/s) will the block strike the spring? (b) What would be the
maximum compression (in m) of the spring?
