A block of mass m is pushed against a spring of spring constant k fixed at one end to a wall. The block can slide on a frictionless table as shown in figure (8-W6). The natural length of the spring is L, and it is compressed to half its natural length when the block is released. Find the velocity of the block as a function of its distance x from the wall. Figure 8-W6
