Jum The mass of the block depicted in the image is 2.94 kg. The spring has a spring constant of 77.2 N/m. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the floor is 0.735. Assume that the spring makes no contact with the floor and therefore friction only acts on the block. How far must the block and spring assembly be compressed to just barely overcome the force of static friction acting on the block? Report your result in meters.
