A horizontal spring (with a spring constant of 1000 N/m) is compressed by some amount, A, by a mass of 4 kg. If the (magnitude of the) velocity of the mass as it passes through the equilibrium point of the spring is 20 m/s, then how much was the spring compressed by to begin with? Assume there is no friction between the mass and the floor. 0.954 m 0.868 m 1.722 m 1.265 m
