A spring of stiffness K is kept compressed by applying horizontal force on a block of mass m by a length x0=(mgk) as shown in the figure. If the force F is withdrawn suddenly, the block oscillates and finally stops. In consequence, fractional loss of energy is equal to 50% of the initial potential energy stored in the spring. The coefficient of friction between block and ground is found as [x]−12 ; what is x? ___ |
