An object of mass m is dropped from the top of an inclined plane of height h and large Θ and collides with a horizontal spring of elastic constant k that is at a distance d from the inclined plane. Determine a) The velocity of the object upon reaching the spring and its deformation; b) The speed of the ball considering friction μ only at the distance d from the horizontal surface and the deformation of the spring and then consider the friction in the inclined plane.
