4. A 15.0 kg block is attached to a very light horizontal spring of force constant \(500\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{m}\) and is resting on a frictionless horizontal table. Suddenly it is struck by a 3.00 kg stone traveling horizontally at \(8\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) to the right, whereupon the stone rebounds at \(2\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) horizontally to the left. Find the maximum distance that the block will compress the spring after the collision.
