Q.

 A block of 4 kg mass starts at rest and slides a distance d down a frictionless incline (angle 30o) where it runs into a spring of negligible mass. The block slides an additional 25 cm before it is brought to rest momentarily by compressing the spring. The force constant of the spring is 400 N/m. The value of d is (take g = 10 ms-2)
