At a waterpark, sleds with riders are sent along a slippery, horizontal surface by the
release of a large, compressed spring. The spring with a force constant 37.0 N/cm and
negligible mass rests on the frictionless horizontal surface. One end is in contact with a
stationary wall. A sled and rider with total mass 75.0 kg are pushed against the other end,
compressing the spring 0.370 m. The sled is then released with zero initial velocity.
