Answer

Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

We know that according to law of conservation of energy $(\frac{1}{2})kx^2=\mu m\space g\space d$ This simplifies to: $d=\frac{kx^2}{2\mu\space m\space g}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $d=\frac{(340)(0.18)^2}{(2)(0.27)(1.5)(9.8)}=1.4m$
