As shown in the figure below, a box of mass m = 5.80 kg is sliding across a horizontal frictionless surface with an initial speed vi = 3.10 m/s when it encounters a spring of constant k = 2350 N/m. The box comes momentarily to rest after compressing the spring some amount xc. Determine the final compression xc (in m) of the spring. m
