A 2-kg collar is attached to a spring and slides without friction in a vertical plane along the curved rod ABC. The spring is undeformed when the collar is at C and its constant is 600 N/m. if the collar is released at A with no initial velocity, determine its velocity (a) as it passes through B, (b) as it reaches C.
(a)
