Can you please answer these 

**Spring and Friction Problem**

A mass \( m = 11 \, \text{kg} \) rests on a frictionless table and is accelerated by a spring with a spring constant \( k = 4119 \, \text{N/m} \). The floor is frictionless except for a rough patch. For this rough path, the coefficient of friction is \( \mu_k = 0.53 \). The mass leaves the spring at a speed \( v = 3.9 \, \text{m/s} \).

### Questions:

1) **How much work is done by the spring as it accelerates the mass?**

   \[
   \text{[Input box]} \, \text{J} \quad \text{Submit}
   \]

2) **How far was the spring stretched from its unstretched length?**

   \[
   \text{[Input box]} \, \text{m} \quad \text{Submit}
   \]

3) **The mass is measured to leave the rough spot with a final speed \( v_f = 2.1 \, \text{m/s} \). How much work is done by friction as the mass crosses the rough spot?**

   \[
   \text{[Input box]} \, \text{J} \quad \text{Submit}
   \]

4) **What is the length of the rough spot?**

   \[
   \text{[Input box]} \, \text{m} \quad \text{Submit}
   \]

5) In a new scenario, the block only makes it (exactly) halfway through the rough spot. How far was the spring compressed from its unstretched length?

6) In this new scenario, what would the coefficient of friction of the rough patch need to be changed to in order for the block to just barely make it through the rough patch?
