The 750-mm-long spring is compressed by the plate P, which can slide freely on the 600- mm-long vertical bars. The 55.6-kg block is given a velocity of v = 5 m/s when it is x = 2 m above the plate. Determine how far the plate travels down when the block stops momentarily after hitting it. Neglect the mass of the plate.
