Question

Figure shows a bracket of mass M with a spring attached to it, bracket is free to move. A block of mass m is projected with velocity v0. What is energy stored in spring at the instant bracket acquires maximum speed (in J) in subsequent motion. (Given : v0 = 10 m/s, m = 1kg, M = 4kg, k = 5 N/m) All the surfaces are smooth.
