Problem

In a physics lab, a 1 kg1\,\text{kg} glider on a frictionless air track is attached to the end of an air track by two springs connected in series. The springs have constants 40 N/m40\,\text{N/m} and 60 N/m60\,\text{N/m}. The glider is pulled to extend the system by 0.1 m0.1\,\text{m} and released from rest. Calculate the maximum speed attained by the glider.
