Two masses m_1 and m_2 re connected by a spring of spring constant k and are placed on as frictionless horizontal surface. Initially the spring is stretched through a distance x_0 when the system is released from rest. Find the distance moved by the two masses before they again come to rest.

The block of mass M in figure -4.160, initially has a velocity v_(o) to the right and its positionis much that the spring exerts no froce on it, i.e, the spring is not stretched or comkpressed. The block moves to the right a distance l before sttoping in the dotted position shown. The speing constant is k and the coefficeent of kinetic friction between block and table is mu. as the block moves the distance l, (a) what is the work done on it by the friction force ? (b) What is the work done on it by the spring force ? (c) are there other forces actionon the block, and if so what work do they do ? (d) what is the total work done on the block?
