A 5‑kg block slides down a frictionless incline that makes an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with the horizontal. The length of the incline is \(8\,\text{m}\). The block starts from rest at the top and, at the bottom, compresses a spring of unknown constant \(k\) by \(0.20\,\text{m}\) before coming to rest. (i) Find the value of \(k\). (ii) If the compression takes \(0.50\,\text{s}\) and occurs uniformly, calculate the average power delivered to the spring during this interval.

Answer Options

A. k = 1.05×10⁴ N m⁻¹; average power = 3.20×10² W
B. k = 8.2×10³ N m⁻¹; average power = 4.10×10² W
C. k = 9.0×10³ N m⁻¹; average power = 5.00×10² W
Correct Answer D. k = 9.8×10³ N m⁻¹; average power = 3.92×10² W
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
k = 9.8×10³ N m⁻¹; average power = 3.92×10² W
