Towing a Mass With a Spring#
A person accelerates a \({{params_m}} \ \rm{kg}\) mass at \({{params_a}} \ \rm{m/s^2}\) by pulling on a spring that is \({{params_x}} \ \rm{m}\) long at rest. The coefficient of friction between the two surfaces is \({{params_nu}}\).
Part 1#
If the spring extends to \({{params_L}} \ \rm{m}\), what is the spring constant \(k\)?
