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

A $1\; kg$ block situated on a rough incline is connected to a spring of spring constant $100\;N m ^{-1}$ as shown in Figure. The block is released from rest with the spring in the unstretched position. The block moves $10 \;cm$ down the incline before coming to rest. Find the coefficient of friction between the block and the incline. Assume that the spring has a negligible mass and the pulley is frictionless.
