A block with mass m = 12 kg rests on a frictionless table and is accelerated by a spring with spring constant k = 4599 N/m after being compressed a distance x1 = 0.45 m from the spring’s unstretched length. The floor is frictionless except for a rough patch a distance d = 2.7 m long. For this rough path, the coefficient of friction is μk = 0.41. 1) How much work is done by friction as the block crosses the rough spot? 2) Instead, the spring is only compressed a distance x2 = 0.117 m before being released. How far into the rough path does the block slide before coming to rest? 3) What distance does the spring need to be compressed so that the block will just barely make it past the rough patch when released?

The block in the figure lies on a horizontal frictionless surface, and the spring constant is 42 N/m. Initially, the spring is at its relaxed length and the block is stationary at position x = 0. Then an applied force with a constant magnitude of 3.0 N pulls the block in the positive direction of the x axis, stretching the spring until the block stops.
