Block A (0.40 kg)and block B (0.30 kg)are on a frictionless table (see figure).Spring 1 connects block A to a frictionless peg at 0 and spring 2 connects block A and block B.When the blocks are in uniform circular motion about 0,the springs have lengths of 0.60 m and 0.40 m,as shown.The springs are ideal and massless,and the linear speed of block B is 2.0 m/s.If the distance that spring 2 stretches is 0.060 m,the spring constant of spring 2 is closest to
A)18 N/m.
B)20 N/m.
C)22 N/m.
D)24 N/m.
E)26 N/m.
