(10%) Problem 8: A block of mass m = 0.38 kg is set against a spring with a spring constant of kj = 608 N/m which has been compressed by a distance of 0.1 m. Some distance in front of it, along a frictionless surface, is another spring with a spring constant of k2 = 499 N/m. The block is not connected to the first spring and may slide freely. m X Otheexpertta.com
