A 7.2 kg block is released from position A. The block slides down the frictionless track and then passes over a 6 m long section (B-C) where friction cannot be ignored. The block then compresses a spring (spring constant 2257 N/m) at the end of the track 0.28 m from its natural length. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction of the rough section. (Use g = 9.81 m/s2 and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
