A 1 00kg block is attached to a spring with a spring constant of k 30N m that is hanging from the ceiling The bottom of the block is then attached to a second spring with a spring constant of k 20N m that is attached to the floor When the two springs are unstretched there is a gap of 50cm between the end of the spring hanging from the ceiling and the end of the spring that is attached to the floor The potential energy function for this block is U mgx 1 2 k1 x 1 2 kz x 0 50m where x is the position of the block above the bottom of the spring that is attached to the ceiling when it is unstretched 1 What is the value of x that is the equilibrium position for this block
