An object with mass m = 3.0 kg is released from rest from a height H = 10 m as shown in the figure. It slides down the incline at angle θ = 39° and collides with a spring that has a spring constant k = 1800 N/m. The coefficient of kinetic friction is not constant over the incline, but increases linearly with a distance as μ k (x) = αx, where α is constant and its value is 0.052 m −1 and x is distance in meters. The horizontal surface is frictionless. What distance that the spring will be compressed? (Your result must be in meters and include 2 digit after the decimal point. Maximum of 5% of error is accepted in your answer. Take g=9.8 m/s2.)
