Question

A spring is used to stop a 60 kg package which is moving down a 30 
degree incline. The spring has a constant k=25000N/m and is held by 
cable so that it is initially compressed 0.06m. Knowing that the 
velocity of the package is 3 m/sec when it is 9 m from the spring and 
the coefficient of kinetic friction between the package and the surface 
is 0.1, determine the maximum additional deformation of the spring in 
bringing the package to rest.
