**Problem Description:**A 25-kg wood block is sliding on a surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction \( \mu_k = 0.706 \). The block slides towards a spring and compresses it. At the exact moment the block first contacts the spring (position b), its velocity is 2.50 m/s. The block then compresses the spring until it stops. If the spring has a spring constant \( k = 300 \, \text{N/m} \), how much does the spring get compressed while stopping the block?**Diagram Explanation:**- The figure consists of three stages labeled a, b, and c.- In stage a, a blue block is moving towards a spring with arrows indicating the direction of motion.- In stage b, the block has a velocity of \( v = 2.50 \, \text{m/s} \) and is in contact with the spring.- In stage c, the spring is compressed, and the block is momentarily at rest.- Below the diagrams, there is an arrow indicating the compression distance \( \Delta x \), which we are asked to find.This setup requires analyzing the forces involved and employing energy conservation principles to determine the maximum compression of the spring.
