A 1.5-kg block A rests on a 1.5-kg block B and is attached to a spring of constant 180 N/m. The coefficients of friction between the two blocks are μs = 0.95 and μk = 0.90 and the coefficients of friction between block B and the horizontal surface are 0.15 μs = and 0.10. μk = Knowing that the blocks are released from rest when the spring is stretched 100 mm, determine?

(a) The velocity of block A as it reaches the position in which the spring is unstretched,?

(b) The maximum velocity of block A.

k = ISO N/m B

k = ISO N/m B
