You are an industrial engineer with a shipping company. As part of the package-handling system, a small box with mass 1.70 kg is placed against a light spring that is compressed 0.280 m. The spring has force constant 41.0 N/m . The spring and box are released from rest, and the box travels along a horizontal surface for which the coefficient of kinetic friction with the box is μk = 0.300. When the box has traveled 0.280 m and the spring has reached its equilibrium length, the box loses contact with the spring.

1-What is the speed of the box at the instant when it leaves the spring?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

2-What is the maximum speed of the box during its motion?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Question 3 : A package delivery company is contemplating building a new shipping center. The most recent shipping center, 10,000 square feet large, was built in 2005, at a cost of $500,000. The new shipping center will be 15,000 square feet large. Using the power-sizing cost-estimating model, estimate the cost of building a new shipping center now, using the assumptions below to construct a weighted cost index value for 2005 and for today. Use 0.90 for the cost-capacity factor. The...
