Four inelastic cables C are attached to a plate P and hold the 1-ft-long spring 0.25 ft in compression when no weight is on the plate. There is also an undeformed spring nested within this compressed spring. If the block, having a weight of 10 lb, is moving downward at v = 4 ft/s, when it is 2 ft above the plate, determine the maximum compression in each spring after it strikes the plate. Neglect the mass of the plate and springs and any energy lost in the collision.
