An 080-Kg Block Is Held in Place Against the Spring by by a 67-N

question 5

Multiple Choice

An 0.80-kg block is held in place against the spring by a 67-N horizontal external force (see the figure) . The external force is removed, and the block is projected with a velocity v₁ = 1.2 m/s upon separation from the spring. The block descends a ramp and has a velocity v₂ = 1.9 m/s at the bottom. The track is frictionless between points A and B. The block enters a rough section at B, extending to E. The coefficient of kinetic friction over this section is 0.39. The velocity of the block is v₃ = 1.4 m/s at C. The block moves on to D, where it stops. The spring constant of the spring is closest to

• A) 3900 N/m.
• B) 2600 N/m.
• C) 2000 N/m.
• D) 1600 N/m.
• E) 1100 N/m.
