A spring (k = 600 N/m) is at the bottom of a frictionless plane that makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. The upper end of the spring is depressed 0.10 m, and a 2.0-kg block is placed against the depressed spring. The system is then released from rest. What is the kinetic energy of the block at the instant it has traveled 0.10 m and the spring has returned to its uncompressed length?
a. 2.0 J
b. 1.8 J
c. 2.2 J
d. 1.6 J
e. 1.0 J

Nitrogen gas is used to harden iron by diffusing the nitrogen into BCC iron at 700°C. If the surface concentration of nitrogen is maintained at 0.1 weight percent, what is the expected concentration of nitrogen 1 mm from the surface after 10 hours? You can assume that at small values of z, erf(z) is approximately equal to z.
