@DIV{m;s}You are an industrial engineer with a shipping company. As part of the package-handling system, a small box with mass 1.40 kg is placed against a light spring that is compressed 0.280 m. The spring, whose other end is attached to a wall, has force constant k =45.0 N/m. The spring and box are released from rest, and the box travels along a horizontal surface for which the coefficient of kinetic friction with the box is k =0.300. When the box has traveled 0.280 m
and the spring has reached its equilibrium length, the box loses contact with the spring.
