 A 75 N/m spring is hooked up to a 37 kg

A 75 N/m spring is hooked up to a 37 kg wooden block and placed on a horizontal surface. The spring is stretched just far enough so that the blockspring system is in static equilibrium as shown in the diagram below where X0 is the starting position and x1 is the stretched position. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is 0.975, what is the length by which the spring is stretched
