Question

/264 The 0.5-kg cylinder A is released from rest from the position shown and drops the distance h, =0.6 m. It then collides with the 0.4-kg block B; the coefficient

of restitution is e = 0.8. Determine the maximum downward displacement h, of block B.Neglect all friction and assume that block B is initially held in place by a hidden mechanism until the collision begins. The two springs of modulus500 N/m are initially unstretched, and the distance d=0.8m
