In a horizontal spring mass system, the spring constant is 400 N/m and the mass is 10 kg. You pull the mass and extend the to 60 cm from its equilibrium position and hold it. Assume the coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and the sliding surface is 0.2. Now you leave the mass and let it slide. What will be its velocity when reaches at -20 cm from the equilibrium position?
