Tо meаsure the stаtic frictiоn cоefficient between а 1.6-kg block and a vertical wall, the setup shown in the drawing is used. A spring (spring constant = 510 N/m) is attached to the block. Someone pushes on the end of the spring in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip down. The spring is compressed by 0.039 m. (a) Draw the free-body diagram showing the forces that act on the block when the spring is being compressed to hold the block in place. (10 points) (b) What is the coefficient of static friction?
