Thanks! That's exactly what I had to do. As a side question, though, how does this problem relate to the concept of static friction and dynamic friction?

Actually, never mind me. I solved it with a friend's help. Yay! If you divide the first by the second, the remainder is 0.237 J. Using that information, I was able to calculate the distance travelled, 50cm. So, subtract that from 85cm, it stopped at 35cm from the left of the frictional surface...

Homework Statement A 179 g block is launched by compressing a spring of constant k=200 N/m a distance of 15 cm. The spring is mounted horizontally, and the surface directly under it is frictionless. But beyond the equilibrium position of the spring end, the surface has coefficient of friction...
