A 3.70 kg block of ice is placed against one end of a horizontal spring that is fixed on the other end, has force constant k = 170 n/m and is compressed 0.025 m . the spring is released and accelerates the block along a horizontal surface. ignore friction and the mass of the spring.
Calculate the work done on the block by the spring duringthe motion of the block from its initial postion to where thespring has returned to its uncompressed length.
