A 1.86-kg block is held in place against the spring by a 81-N horizontal external force (see the figure). The external force is removed, and the block is projected with a velocity v1 = 1.2 m/s upon separation from the spring

The block descends a ramp and has a velocity at the bottom. The track is frictionless between points A and B. The block enters a rough section at B, extending to E. The coefficient of kinetic friction over this section is 0.28. The velocity of the block is v3 = 1.4 m/s at C. The block moves on to D, where it stops. The height h of the ramp is closest to A) 11 B) 7.3 C) 15 D) 17 E) 18
