One end of a spring of force constant \(\mathrm{k}\) is fixed to a vertical wall and the other to a block of mass \(\mathrm{m}\) resting on a smooth horizontal surface. There is another wall at a distance from the block. The spring is then compressed by and then released. The time taken to strike the wall will be?
