Two blocks each of mass m are joined together using an ideal spring of force constant K and natural length l_(0) . The blocks are touching each other when the system is released from rest on a rough horizontal surface. Both the blocks come to rest simultaneously when the extension in the spring is (l_(0))/4 . The coefficient of friction between each block and the surface (assuming it to be same between any of the blocks and the surface) is :

Initially spring is compressed by x_(0) and blocks are in contact when system is released, then block starts moving and after some time contact between blocks, then
