Problem

A 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} block is released from rest at the top of a frictionless track that is 1.2 m1.2\,\text{m} vertically above the point where the track meets a horizontal, ideal spring of force constant 500 N m−1500\,\text{N}\,\text{m}^{-1}. Determine the maximum compression of the spring after the block makes contact.
