The bottom of a 5-lb vertical plunger is in the dashed position in resting equilibrium against the spring with a stiffness k of 10 lb/in. The upper and lower end of the spring is welded to the plunger and the base plate. (So, the spring can carry compressive or tensile loads.) If the plunger is lifted 1.5 inches above its equilibrium position and released from rest, what is its velocity v as it strikes the button A. Neglect friction. k=10 lb/in.

2. The bottom of a 5-lb vertical plunger is in the dashed position in resting equilibrium against the spring with a stiffness k of 10 lb/in. The upper and lower end of the spring is welded to the plunger and the base plate. (So, the spring can carry compressive or tensile loads.) If the plunger is lifted 1.5 inches above its equilibrium position and released from rest, what is its velocity v as it strikes the button A. Neglect friction. W=5 lb k=10 lb/in.
