To measure the static friction coefficient between a 2.77-kg block and a vertical wall, the setup shown in the drawing is used. A spring (spring constant = 470 N/m) is attached to the block. Someone pushes on the end of the spring in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward. If the spring in such a setup is compressed by 0.0613 m, what is the coefficient of static friction?

I applied the concept of this problem and it worked, however I placed no units and tried others and can't get the correct unit placement for the answer to my practice problem. 

To measure the static friction coefficient between a 2.77-kg block and a vertical wall, the setup shown in the drawing is used. A spring
(spring constant = 470 N/m) is attached to the block. Someone pushes on the end of the spring in a direction perpendicular to the wall
until the block does not slip downward. If the spring in such a setup is compressed by 0.0613 m, what is the coefficient of static
friction?
