You are designing a delivery ramp for crates containing exercise equipment. The crates weighing 1520 will move at a speed of 1.80 at the top of a ramp that slopes downward at an angle 23.0. The ramp exerts a kinetic friction force of 530 on each crate, and the maximum static friction force also has this value. Each crate will compress a spring at the bottom of the ramp and will come to rest after traveling a total distance of 7.90 along the ramp. Once stopped, a crate must not rebound back up the ramp.
Calculate the maximum force constant of the spring k_max that can be used in order to meet the design criteria. Take free fall acceleration to be = 9.80.
I would really like to know how to work the problem. Thank you in advance!
