A 500-g collar can slide without friction on the curved rod BC in a horizontal plane. Knowing that the un-deformed length of the spring is 80 mm and that k = 400kN/m,

Determine
(a) The velocity that the collar should be given at A to reach B with zero velocity,
(b) The velocity of the collar when it eventually reaches C.
