A 3 Kg block is connected to two ideal horizontal spring of force constant k1= 25.0 N/cmk_1=\ 25.0\ N/cm and k2=20.0 N/cmk_2=20.0\ N/cm. The system is initially in equilibrium on a horizontal, friction less surface. the block is now pushed 15 cm to the right and released from rest.


(a) i) Find the maximum speed of the block. (in m/s)
