A block of mass m = 1kg, to which a spring of spring constant k = 43N/m is attached, stands on a horizontal plane. If the spring attached to that block can be stretched horizontally with an amount of 14.8cm until the block skids, what is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface of the plane?

Q1) A block of mass m = 1kg, to which a spring of spring constant k = 43N/m is attached, stands on a horizontal plane. If the spring attached to that block can be stretched horizontally with an amount of 14.8cm until the block skids, what is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface of the plane? (Assume that the spring is ideal; ignore the mass of the spring)
