A horizontal spring with force constant k = 680 N/m is attached to a wall at one end and to a block of mass m = 2.15 kg at the other end that rests on a horizontal surface. The block is released from rest from a position 3.85 cm beyond the spring's equilibrium position. (a) If the surface is frictionless, what is the speed of the block as it passes through the equilibrium position? m/s (b) If the surface is rough and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface is μk = 0.200, what is the speed of the block as it passes through the equilibrium position?

Question

A horizontal spring with force constant 

k = 680 N/m

 is attached to a wall at one end and to a block of mass 

m = 2.15 kg

 at the other end that rests on a horizontal surface. The block is released from rest from a position 3.85 cm beyond the spring's equilibrium position.

(a) If the surface is frictionless, what is the speed of the block as it passes through the equilibrium position?
  m/s

(b) If the surface is rough and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface is 
μk = 0.200,
 what is the speed of the block as it passes through the equilibrium position?
