An 1800 kg block moves on a smooth plane, as shown in Figure 2, towards a "nested" spring assembly. The outer spring A has a stiffness of 5000 N/m, and the inner spring B has a stiffness of 10000 N/m. a) Calculate the maximum compression for each spring. b) If the plane has a kinetic friction coefficient of 0.25, determine the distance from the wall where the block will come to rest after rebounding.
