Question

A block of mass m = 0.60 kg slides along a horizontal table with speed v0 = 9.00 m/s. At x = 0 it hits a spring with spring constant k = 84.00 N/m and it also begins to experience a friction force. The coefficient of friction is given by μ = 0.150. How far has the spring compressed by the time the block first momentarily comes to rest?
