Part A

The $6\mathrm{.}5-1lb$ cylinder is falling from A with a speed $v_A=10f\frac{t}{s}$ onto the platform shown in $($Figure $1).$ The spring has an unstretched length of $1\mathrm{.}75$ ft and is originally kept in compression by the $1-$ft$-$long cables attached to the platform. Neglect the mass of the platform and spring and any energy lost during the collision.

Determine the maximum displacement of the platform, caused by the collision.

Express your answer in feet to three significant figures.
