The figure shows the cross section of a garage door which is a uniform rectangular panel 8 by 8 ft and weighing 200 lb. The door carries two spring assemblies, one on each side of the door, like the one shown. Each spring has a stiffness of 50 lb/ft and is unstretched when the door is in the open position shown. If the door is released from rest in this position, calculate the velocity of the edge at A as it strikes the garage floor.
