Q.

Two blocks of masses 10 kg and 4 kg are connected by a spring of negligible mass. Spring Constant of spring is K = 140 N/M and blocks are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. An impulse gives a speed of 14 m/s to 10 kg block in the direction of the lighter block. Then, the maximum compression in the spring will be
