2.0\,\text{kg}

block is pressed against a spring located at the bottom of a frictionless

30^\circ

incline. The spring has a force constant of

600\,\text{N/m}

. The block compresses the spring by a distance

x

and is then released from rest. What compression

x

is required so that the block travels

0.75\,\text{m}

up the incline before momentarily coming to rest?
