Alight spring with a force coefficient 10.83 n/m is compressed by 12.7 cm as it is held between a 0.29 kg block on the left and a 0.79 kg block on the right, both resting on a horizontal surface. the spring exerts a force on each of the blocks, tending to push them apart. the blocks are then released from rest.

find the acceleration of each block if the coefficient of friction between the blocks and the surface is:

[note: this question may require you to perform your calculations to a few extra digits of precision to get the answer to within 1%.]

(a) μ = 0: right

(b) μ = 0.158: right

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 740 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of theta= 26 with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is uk = 0.17. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. the block's initial mechanical energy is 9.472 j.b. if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance l in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
