The 25-lb block has an initial speed of v₀ = 10 ft/s when it is midway between springs A and B. After striking spring B, it rebounds and slides across the horizontal plane toward spring A, and continues to move back and forth. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the plane and the block is μ_k = 0.4, determine the total distance traveled by the block before it comes to rest.
