A 15 kg box moves back and forth on a horizontal surface


A 1.5 kg box moves back and forth on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.18 between two different springs, 0.83 m apart.  The box is initially pressed against the stronger spring (spring constant, k=32N/cm), compressing it 5.6 cm, and the is released from rest.  (a) By how much will the box compress the weaker spring (with a spring constant, k=16N/cm)?  (b) What is the maximum speed the box will reach?
