Answer:
On
releasing the block, the spring pushes the block tothe right till the spring
acquires its natural length\[\left( {{L}_{0}} \right)\].
At this stage, the block loses contact with the spring and moves
with a constant velocity. Initial compression of spring = \[\frac{{{L}_{0}}}{2}\].
When block is at a distance x from the wall, where \[x<{{L}_{0}}\], the compression
is\[({{L}_{0}}-x)\]. Using the principle of conservation of energy.
\[\frac{1}{2}k{{\left( \frac{{{L}_{0}}}{2}
\right)}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}k{{\left( {{L}_{0}}-x
\right)}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}m{{\upsilon }^{2}}\]
\[\upsilon =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}{{\left[
\frac{L_{0}^{2}}{4}-{{\left( {{L}_{0}}-x \right)}^{2}} \right]}^{1/2}}\]
