QUESTION:

A 2.50-kg textbook is forced against a horizontal spring of negligible mass and force constant 250 N/m, compressing the spring a distance of 0.250 m. When released, the textbook slides on a horizontal tabletop with coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.30. Use the work–energy theorem to find how far the text-book moves from its initial position before it comes to rest.
