At the beginning of the experiment (t = 0s), the block A has a velocity of v= 15 m/s and the distance between A and the 15-kg block B is s 6m. The spring has a stiffness of k = 2000 N/m. Determine the maximum compression of the spring due to the collision. Assume #B= 0.3 for the sliding of B and e= 0.5 for the collision. 15 m/s -k = 2000 N/m 100 B s=6m 15° A
