A block of mass ?=3.80 kg slides along a horizontal table with velocity ?0=1.50 m/s. At ?=0, it hits a spring with spring constant ?=41.00 N/m and it also begins to experience a friction force. The coefficient of friction is given by ?=0.400. How far has the spring compressed by the time the block first momentarily comes to rest? Assume the positive direction is to the right.
