A 0.260-kg block resting on a frictionless, horizontal surfaceis attached to a spring having force constant 83.8 N/m as in thefigure below. A horizontal force Fvec causes the spring to stretchat a distance of 5.90 cm from its equilibrium position.
(a) Find the value of F. N
(b) What is the total energy stored in the system when the springis stretched? J
(c) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the block immediatelyafter the applied force is removed. m/s2
(d) Find the speed of the block when it first reaches theequilibrium position. m/s
