Problem
A light spring (k = 50 N/m) is stretched so that its free end is displaced 0.25 m at an angle of 20° below the positive x-axis. Using +x to the right and +y upward, determine the x- and y-components of the restoring force the spring exerts on the object at its free end. Give each component to two significant figures with appropriate units.
