11. Consider the track shown in Figure 3. The track AB is one quarter of a circle of radius R=3.0(m) and is frictionless. The horizontal track from B to Chas a length of d=4.0(m) and a coefficient of kinetic

friction =0.23. The track CD under the spring is frictionless. The track CD forms an angle θ=30° with the horizontal plane. A block with a mass of m=2.2(kg) is released from rest at point A. After sliding m along the track, it compresses the spring by 0.35 (m) and comes to rest at a distance 0.8 (m) from C. Determine the stiffness constant k for the spring.
