37. A block of mass MM on a horizontal surface is connected to the end of a massless spring of spring constant kk. The block is pulled a distance xx from equilibrium and when released from rest, the block moves toward equilibrium. What coefficient of kinetic friction between the surface and the block would allow the block to return to equilibrium and stop? ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/diraq-contents/question-bank/question-images/c36a7109a592/2025_11_20_b6e29c73d98739775023g-06.jpg) (A) kx22Mg\frac{k x^{2}}{2 M g} (B) kxMg\frac{k x}{M g} (C) kx2Mg\frac{k x}{2 M g} (D) Mg2kx\frac{M g}{2 k x}
