A block of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 940 N/m. It is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 29° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.11. In the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.13 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. Take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero.

Required:
If the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, L in meters, will the block travel before coming to rest?
