A block of mass m = 1.7 kg is released from rest at a height of H = 0.93 m on a curved frictionless ramp. At the foot of the ramp is a spring whose spring constant is k = 735.0 N/m. What is the maximum compression of the spring, x?

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of block 1.7 Kg

Height m

Spring constant  

From the conservation of energy,

Here, potential energy of the block is converted into elastic potential energy of spring.

Where maximum compression of the spring,    

    m

Hence, the maximum compression of the spring m
