Q.

A block with mass 0.50 kg is forced against a horizontal spring of negligible mass, compressing the spring  distance of 0.20m (fig). When released, the block moves on a horizontal table top for 1.00 m before coming to rest. The spring constant k is 100 N/m. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction, μK between the block and the table?

The initial and final kinetic energies are both zero, so the work done by the spring is the negative of the work done by friction, or 12kx2 = μkmgl, where l is the distance the block moves. Solving for μk,

μk = (12)kx2mgl = (12)(100 N/m)(0.20m)2(0.50kg)(10m/s2)(1.00 m) = 0.40
