Question: The 5 - l b cylinder is falling from A with a speed v A = 1 5 [ f t s ] onto the

The 5-lb cylinder is falling from A with a speed vA=15[fts] onto the platform. Determine the maximum displacement of the platform in feet caused by the collision. The spring has an unstretched length of 1.75ft and is originally kept in compression by the 1-ft lng cables attached to the platform. (Initial spring displacement is 0.75ft, further compression adds to this).
Neglect the mass of the platform and spring and any energy lost during the collision.
