A block of mass M connected to an ideal ...

A block of mass M connected to an ideal spring of force constant k, is placed on a smooth surface. The block is pushed to the left so as to compress the spring by a length A and then it is released. The block hits an elastic wall at a distance `(3A)/(2)` from its point of release. Assume the collision to be instantaneous.
(a) Calculate the time required by the block to complete one oscillation
(b) Draw the velocity - time graph for one oscillation of the block.
(c) Find the value of k for which average force experienced by the wall due to repeated hitting of the block is `F_(0)`.
