Question

As shown in the figure, a 1.50 kg box is held at rest against a spring with a force constant k = 675 N/m that is compressed a distance d.

When the box is released, it slides across a surface that is frictionless, except for a rough patch that has a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.41 and is 6.0 cm in length.
