A spring with a stiffness constant k = 55 N/m has a natural length of 0.55 m. Is is attached to the top of an incline that makes a 30 degree angle with the horizontal. The incline is 2.4 m long. A mass of 2 kg is attached to the spring, causing it to be stretched down the incline. How far down the incline does the end of the spring rest?

• 0.746 m

• 0.354 m

• 0.646 m

• 0.55 m

• 1.85 m
