1. The diagram shows a 0.12-kg square block at four positions along a track. The track is frictionless between points A and B. Elsewhere, the coefficient of static friction on the block is 0.26.

Initially, the block is held in place against a spring by a horizontal external force of magnitude 35 N. Then the external force is removed, and the block is projected forward with speed V1=1.2m/s . The block descends a ramp and has speed V2=1.4m/s at the bottom. At point C, its speed is V3=1.4m/s. The block stops at point D.

What is the initial compression of the spring?

0.49 cm
0.26 cm
0.67 cm
0.18 cm
