Figure shows a smooth track, a part of which is a circle of radius `r`. A block of mass `m` is pushed against a spring of spring constant `k` fixed at the left end and is then released. Find the initial compression of the spring so that the block presses the track with a force `mg` when it reaches the point P, where the radius of the track is horizontal.
