A block of mass $0.18 \ kg$ is attached to a spring of force-constant $2 \ N / m$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is $0.1$ . Initially the block is at rest and the spring is un-stretched. An impulse is given to the block as shown in the figure. The block slides a distance of $0.06 \ m$ and comes to rest for the first time. The initial velocity of the block in $m / s$ is $V = N / 10$. Then $N$ is
