Spring Potential Energy

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The potential energy is the measure of the net work done by or on the body. The spring potential energy is the potential energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic spring and this elasticity is due to the stretched spring. The elasticity is the ability of a solid-state matter to come back to its equilibrium position or original position after any kind of external force is acted on it. It is also known as Elastic potential energy. The potential energy here is caused due to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position to another position and this potential energy is equal to the net work done due to the stretching of the spring. It also resembles the same mechanics of the oscillation of a simple pendulum, where due to the external force, the object moves from its equilibrium position to its maximum ends and the periodic motion continues till it comes back to the equilibrium position to rest. 

Question

A block with a mass m = 2.5 kg is pushed into an ideal spring whose spring constant is k = 4520 N/m. The spring is compressed x = 0.066 m and released. After losing contact with the spring, the block slides a distance of d = 2.25 m across the floor before coming to rest. a. Write an expression for the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the floor using the symbols given in the problem statement and g (the acceleration due to gravity). (Do not neglect the work done by friction while the block is still in contact with the spring.)
