Question
(Figure 1) depicts the potential energy of a 660-kg pallet that slides from rest down a frictionless roller conveyer ramp, then moves across a frictionless horizontal conveyer, and finally encounters a horizontal spring at x=4.0m.
What is the angle of inclination of the conveyer ramp?
What will be the speed of the pallet at x=6.0m if it begins sliding from rest at x=0?
