Shown to the right s a block of mass m = 38.5 kg resting on a frictionless ramp inclined θ = 52° to the horizontal. The block is held by a spring that is stretched d =5.1 cm after the block. A) Write an equation for the force constant of the spring in terms of the variables from the problem statement (m,d,θ ) Use g for the gravitational constant. B) Calculate the force constant of the spring in newtons per meter
