A 750-mm-long spring is compressed and confined by the plate P, which can slide freely along the vertical 600-mm-long rods. The 40-kg block is given a speed of v=5m/s when it is h=2 m above the plate. Determine how far the plate moves downwards when the block momentarily stops after striking it. Neglect the mass of the plate.
