Answer:
[tex]d=1.2m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Spring constant [tex]k= 4000 N/m[/tex]
Compressed [tex]l_d= 10cm=>0.10[/tex]
Mass [tex]m=1.0kg[/tex]
Length of horizontal section [tex]l=5.0-m[/tex]
Coefficient of friction [tex]\mu=0.20[/tex]
Angle [tex]\theta=60 \textdegree[/tex]
Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy K.E is mathematically given by
[tex]K.E=\mu mgL+mgdsin\theta[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}k*l_d^2=\mu mgL+mgdsin\theta[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}(4000)*0.1^2=0.2*1*9.8*5+1*9.8*d*sin60[/tex]
[tex]d=1.2m[/tex]
