    How Do You Calculate Spring Constant with Friction Involved?

    Friction/Springs/HELP! An object of mass m=2.6 kg is traveling on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the surface is µk=0.16. The object has speed v=0.65 m/s when it reaches x=0 and encounters a spring. The object compresses the spring a distance...
