A mass m sits motionless on a frictionless incline that makes an angle 0 with the horizontal. It is attached to a spring of spring constant k. When the spring is unstretched on a flat surface, it has a length xo. In the setup shown, what is the magnitude of the force exerted on the mass by the spring?
