An object of mass 1.25 kg at the bottom of a ramp is given an initial speed of 4.45 m/s up the 30.0° slope. After sliding a distance of 1.00 m along the surface it comes into contact with the end of a spring and compresses the spring an additional 0.350 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the inclined surface is 0.250, determine the force constant of the spring

Question

An object of mass 1.25 kg at the bottom of a ramp is given an initial
speed of 4.45 m/s up the 30.0° slope. After sliding a distance of 1.00 m
along the surface it comes into contact with the end of a spring and
compresses the spring an additional 0.350 m before coming to rest. If
the coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the inclined
surface is 0.250, determine the force constant of the spring
