Homework Help: physics

A block of mass 12.0 kg slides from rest down a frictionless 35.0° incline and is stopped by a strong spring with k = 1.50 104 N/m. The block slides 3.00 m from the point of release to the point where it comes to rest against the spring. When the block comes to rest, how far has the spring been compressed?

the energy going into the spring= m*g*3/sin35

that has to equal 1/2 k x^2 solve for x
