Question

Please don't provide handwritten solution....

As shown in the figure, a 0.490 kg box is pushed against a horizontal spring of negligible mass until the spring is compressed a distance x. The force constant of the spring is 450 N/m. When it is
released, the box travels along a frictionless, horizontal surface to point A, the bottom of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1.00 m, and continues to move up the track. The speed of the box
at the bottom of the track is VA = 12.8 m/s, and the box experiences an average frictional force of 7.00 N while sliding up the track.
