A spring with a spring constant of k = 173 N/m is initially compressed by a block a distance d = 0.39 m from its unstretched length. The block is on a horizontal surface with coefficients of static and kinetic friction μs and μk and has a mass of m = 10 kg. Refer to the figure.   Assuming the block has just begun to move and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.2, what is the block's acceleration in meters per second squared?

 A spring with a spring constant of k = 173 N/m is initially compressed by a block a distance d = 0.39 m from its unstretched length. The block is on a horizontal surface with coefficients of static and kinetic friction μs and μk and has a mass of m = 10 kg. Refer to the figure.

 

Assuming the block has just begun to move and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.2, what is the block's acceleration in meters per second squared?
