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. When that stopping point is reached, what are (a) the position of the block, (b) the work that has been done on the block by the applied force, and (c) the work that has been done on the block by the spring force? During the block's displacement, what are (d) the block's position when its kinetic energy is maximum and (e) the value of that maximum kinetic energy?

a 2 kg weight is fasten to a spring on an inclined plane. It has a spring constant of 20 N/m. When the spring is relaxed, the mass sits at the bottom of the incline. It is compressed 0.25 m from its relaxed position, and the weight is released. It goes down the incline, to the horizontal surface and up a second, identical incline. If there were kinetic friction between the weight and the right incline, but none between the weight and the left incline, what would be the coefficient of kinetic friction μk so the maximum height reachable is the same as the starting position (i.e. d=0.25m).
