Question: ( System is spring - block - earth ) A mass M = 3 . 5 kg block starts at the top of a smooth

(System is spring-block-earth) A mass M =3.5 kg block starts at the top of a smooth curved ramp and is released at rest as shown in the figure. It slides down the ramp and onto a horizontal floor that has a rough patch (\mu s =0.120,\mu k =0.175) of length 3.00 m and then continues to hit and compress a spring before rebounding. If the spring constant of the spring is 400 N/m, determine the maximum distance (m) the spring is compressed. Give answer to three places to the right of the decimal.
