A piece of electronic equipment that is surrounded by packing material is dropped so that it hits the ground with a speed of 4 m/s. After contact the equipment experiences an acceleration of a- kx , where k is a constant and x is the compression of the packing material. If the packing material experiences a maximum compression of 20 mm, determine the maximum acceleration of the equipment.
M = (² + 2) N · m

Each ball has a negligible size and their respective mass are 7-kg and 3-kg.
Each ball is attached to the end of a rod whose mass may be neglected.
If the rod is subjected to a torque M=t2+4 N.m, where t is in seconds, detemrine the
speed of each ball when t=1.
The initial speed of each baal at t=Os is 1 m/s.
The 2.0 kg block slides along a smooth (frictionless) plane with a speed of 2 m/s and then strikes an unstretched spring with a spring constant of 220N/m. Find the speed of the block in meters per second after the spring has compressed 150 mm. What will be the maximum compression of the spring
