Coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the waxed floor?

[togepyamy]

A woman finds herself in a very odd contraption. She sits in a reclining chair, on a freshly waxed floor, in front of a large, compressed spring. The spring is compressed 5.00 m from its equilibrium position, and a glass sits 19.8 m from her outstretched foot.
Assuming the woman's mass is 60.0 kg, what is the u_k , the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the waxed floor? Use 9.80 m/s^2 for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

I've already found k which was 95.0 N/m...but I don't know where togo from here.

Sorry, can't fancy the situation

Yep, that question is f'd.

What does the glass have to do with anything?

Is she the one compressing the spring?

I think the questiion needs a better description.

the glass had to do with this problem: For what value of the spring constant k does the woman just reach the glass without knocking it over?

Your original statement of the problem must be incomplete. How did you calculate the spring constant?
