A 10-kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a light spring (force constant = 0.80 kN/m). The block is initially at rest at its equilibrium position when a force (magnitude P = 80 N) acting parallel to the surface is applied to the block, as shown in attached image. What is the speed of the block when it is 13 cm from its equilibrium position?

The diagram shows a block connected to a spring on a horizontal surface. The spring is attached to a vertical wall on the left side. The block is represented as a large rectangle. 

A force labeled "P" is applied to the right side of the block, indicated by an arrow pointing to the right. The spring is depicted in a coiled form and exerts a restoring force on the block when it is stretched or compressed.

This setup is commonly used to illustrate principles of mechanics, such as Hooke's Law for springs, static and kinetic friction, and the effects of applied forces.
