3. A block is initially sliding on a frictionless portion of a table. At the end ofa table is a wall with an ideal spring attached. The portion oftable underneath the spring is not frictionless. The block initially moves with a speed of 16 m/s when it rst contacts the spring and reaches the part of the table with friction. The block has a mass of kg and the spring has a spring constant of 8000 N/m. If the block compresses the spring 0.356 m upon colliding, what is the frictional force exerted on the block by the table beneath the spring? Assume that negligible thermal energy is generated from the actual collision between the block and the spring. Start by drawing a well labeled diagram of the situation
