Consider two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $m_1 = 10 \ kg$ and $m_2 = 5 \ kg$ that are placed on a frictionless table. The block $A$ moves with a constant speed $v = 3 \ m/s$ towards the block $B$ kept at rest. $A$ spring with spring constant $k = 3000 \ N/m$ is attached to the block $B$ as shown in the figure. After the collision,suppose that the blocks $A$ and $B$,along with the spring in a constant compression state,move together. Then the compression in the spring is (neglect the mass of the spring). (in $m$)
