Homework Help: Physics URGENT!!!

Posted by Meg on Monday, October 29, 2012 at 11:33am.

: A massless spring of constant k =84.8 N/m is fixed on the left side of a level track. A block of mass m = 0.5 kg is pressed against the spring and compresses it a distance d, as in the figure below. The block (initially at rest) is then released and travels toward a circular loop-the-loop of radius R = 1.6 m. The entire track and the loop-the-loop are frictionless, except for the section of track between points A and B. Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the track along AB is μk=0.3, and that the length of AB is 2.2 m, determine the minimum compression d of the spring that enables the block to just make it through the loop-the-loop at point C. (Hint: The force exerted by the track on the block will be zero if the block barely makes it through the loop-the-loop.)
