Mass on an Incline with Spring Attached

In summary, the conversation is about solving a physics problem involving forces and energy. The participants discuss different approaches and methods for finding the displacement of a block on a ramp, including using the law of conservation of energy and solving a differential equation. The correct answer is found to be 0.235m for one part of the problem and 0.5m for the other, using the work-energy theorem.

Ok but better to show me your work in order to be sure what you did exactly.

Ok, you did great, except one little thing, it is ##\Delta K##=final kinetic energy-initial kinetic energy, not final-initial velocity. Other than that everything looks good, because the initial and final velocity are zero, the same holds for the initial and final kinetic energy.
