A massless spring (with force constant k = 187 N/m)connects a wall and a block of wood. The system is initially atrest, with the spring unstretched. The block has mass M =59.6 g and is able to move without friction on a table. A gun ispositioned to fire a bullet of mass m = 6.6 g into theblock along the spring axis. After the gun is fired, the bulletgets embedded in the block, and the spring is compressed a maximumdistance d = 0.81 m.
