When a 8.00 kg block is pushed against a massless spring of force constant 8.00 kN/m, the spring is compressed 24.00 cm. The block is released, and it slides 12.00 m (from the point at which it is released) across a horizontal surface before friction stops it. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface?
