Solution:

A helical spring, of negligible mass, is found to extend 0.25 mm under a mass of 1.5 kg. The spring is made to support a mass of 60 kg. The spring and the mass system is displaced vertically through 12.5 mm and released. Find the velocity of the mass when it is 5 mm below its rest position.
