Question

The next two questions pertain to the following situation. A block of mass M rests on a frictionless inclined plane of angle theta as shown in the diagram below. Two springs of equal length are connected to the block and to two posts as shown. The separation between the posts is equal to the sum of relaxed lengths of the springs and the length of the block. Which of the following statements correctly describes the directions of the forces that the springs exert on the block? The force the bottom spring exerts on the block is in the opposite direction of the force that the top spring exerts on the block. Both the bottom spring and the top spring exert forces on the block that point down the plane. Both the bottom spring and the top spring exert forces on the block that point up the plane. Suppose the top (bottom) spring is stretched (compressed) from its relaxed length by an amount . If the spring constant of the top spring is three times that of the bottom spring and M = 0.25 kg and theta = 30degree, what is k, the spring constant of the bottom spring?
