The 2.2-kg collar is released from rest at A and slides down the inclined fixed rod in the vertical plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.34. Calculate (a) the velocity v of the collar as it strikes the spring and (b) the maximum deflection x of the spring.

As seen in a us weather map, the h (or high) and l (or low) symbols indicate regions where surface air pressures are high or low, respectively, compared to surrounding areas. an h is plotted where the air pressure is highest and an l is plotted where the air pressure is lowest. proceeding outward and away from the center of a high pressure system, the air pressure "
