Block A (mass = 5.00 kg) is attached to a spring. Initially the spring is in its equilibrium position. Block A is also attached by a rope to Block B (mass 2.00 kg) which hangs over the edge of a table. The table has a coefficient of kinetic friction of .300. When the masses are released from rest, Block B falls a distance of 1.50 m before coming to rest and remaining suspended above the ground. What is the spring constant of the spring?
