A bullet (W1 = 2.0 oz) with a is fired horizontally with a velocity v1 = 1780 ft/sec into the block (W2 = 6.3 lb) of soft wood initially at rest on the horizontal surface. The bullet emerges from the block with the velocity v2 = 1265 ft/sec, and the block is observed to slide a distance of d = 9.6 ft before coming to rest. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction μk between the block and the supporting surface. Answer: μk =
