A spring is used to stop a 50 kg package which is sliding on a horizontal surface. The spring has a constant of k = 22 kN/m and is held by cables so that it is initially compressed 120 mm. knowing that the package has a velocity of 3 m/s in the position shown, and the maximum additional deflection of spring is 35 mm, determine: (a) the coefficient of kinetic friction between the package and the surface, (b) the velocity of the package as it passes again through the position shown and (c) the total distance travelled by the package from the position shown to the point where it stopped.
