Find the speed of the ram at the instant of contact

Reference no: EM13545854

A heavy-duty stapling gun uses a 0.168 kg metal rod that rams against the staple to eject it. The rod is attached and pushed by a stiff spring called a "ram spring" (k = 35934 N/m). The mass of this spring may be ignored. Squeezing the handle of the gun first compresses. The ram spring is compressed by 3.10 10-2 m from its unstrained length and then releases from rest. Assuming that the ram spring is oriented vertically and is still compressed by 1.50 10-2 m when the downward-moving ram hits the staple, find the speed of the ram at the instant of contact.
