To simulate car accidents, auto manufacturers study the collisions of moving cars with mounted springs of different spring constants. Consider a typical simulation with a car of mass $1000\; kg$ moving with a speed $18.0\; km / h$ on a smooth road and colliding with a horizontally mounted spring of spring constant $6.25 \times 10^{3} \;N m ^{-1} .$ What is the maximum compression of the spring in $m$?

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $m$ and $2m$ respectively are placed on a smooth floor. They are connected by a spring. A third body $C$ of mass $m$ moves with velocity $V_0$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ and collides elastically with $A$ as shown in fig. At a certain instant of time $t_0$ after collision, it is found that instantaneous velocities of $A$ and $B$ are the same. Further at this instant the compression of the spring is found to be $x_0$. Determine the spring constant
