2. The given figure shows an Atwood machine with two blocks that weigh 10.0 kg and 5.0 kg. These blocks are connected by a massless string that goes along a frictionless and massless pulley. Suppose a spring has a force constant of 1 500 N/m on a pit as shown in the figure. a. Using the law of conservation of energy, find the speed of the 10-kg block when it reaches the end of the spring if the system will be released from rest. b. What will be the maximum compression length of the spring when the heavier block hits it? 5.0 kg 10.0 kg
