Question:

A heavy-duty stapling gun uses a 0.140-kg metal rod that rams against the staple to eject it. The rod is attached to and pushed by a stiff spring called a "ram spring" (k = 32 000 N/m). The mass of this spring may be ignored. The ram spring is compressed by 3.0 × 10-2 m from its unstrained length and then released from rest. Assuming that the ram spring is oriented vertically and is still compressed by 0.8 × 10-2 m when the downward-moving ram hits the staple, find the speed of the ram at the instant of contact.
