@JohnRennie Hi :-)

Did you see the problem I sent?
 
Yes, but unfortunately I need to go soon.
Is there a diagram for the problem? It's not entirely clear to me where the mass and spring are.
 
Bml
@JohnRennie No, there isn't...
 
I'm guessing it's like this.
I've drawn the spring at its natural length.
So the problem says we compress the spring to 0.2m i.e. we compress it by 0.3m.
OK so far?
Like that.
I need to go now. I will be here tomorrow morning as usual.

Hi :-)
The initial energy of the system is 1/2 k ∆l^2, right?
The final energy is 1/2 m v_0² + 1/2 M V_0²
 
We will need to do this tomorrow. I have to leave in 40 minutes and I have a queue of questions stacked up. Sorry :-(
 
Bml
@JohnRennie Don't worry. Thanks. Let's see tomorrow...
Bye!
 
Bye
