A 10-kg block A is released from rest 2 m above the 5-kg plate P, which can slide freely along the smooth vertical guides BC and DE. Determine the velocity of the block and plate just after impact. The coefficient of restitution between the block and the plate is e = 0.75. Also, find the maximum compression of the spring due to impact.The spring has an unstretched length of 600 mm
The spring with the 5 kg plate are stationary before impact at 450mm. The 600mm unstretch length of the spring is without the 5 kg plate.
