A 0.5 kg block slides from a point A (see Fig) on a horizontal track with an initial speed of 3 m/s towards a weightless horizontal spring of length 1 m and force constant 2 N/m. The part AB of the track is frictionless and the part BC has the coefficient of static and kinetic friction as 0.22 and 0.2 respectively. If the distance AB and BD are 2 m and 2.14 m respectively, find the total distance through which the block moves before it completely stops. (Take g=10 m/s2).
