From point P, located at a height of 4 meters, a block of mass m = 2 kg is released from rest. The block slides in a smooth path, except in section CD of length L = 4 meters. The system ends in a spring with elastic constant k = 300 N/m. If the kinetic constant between the rough section CD and the block is mu= 0.25, find the maximum compression of the spring during the entire movement and the final position of the block when it stops.
Him can you help me with this please?

Since the speed is not 0 when the block is pushed away from the spring, how can we know if the block stops in the section CD, or if it passes this section and go in the ramp and then back again in direction to the spring? could the block go back and forward a few times before a complete stop somewhere in the CD section?
