So I'm having some trouble with this problem can anyone help me out on how to solve it?
A 3.0 kg block is released from rest at the top of a 3.4 m high frictionless incline. At the bottom of the incline, the block encounters a spring with a constant of 4.0 x 102 N/m on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the horizontal surface is 0.20. How far does the block slide while compressing the spring?
I don't fully understand what to do or what equations to specifically use as the teacher didn't really give me anything about it.
