I.A bullet of mass m has a velocity of v, just before it strikes the target of mass M. If the bullet embeds in the target, and the damping ratio for the system is prescribed as 2%, determine the maximum compression that would occur in the springs. The target is free to move along the two horizontal guides that are "nested" in the springs. Jans. 0.97 mv ER(Mm)
