One end of a spring of force constant $150 \text{ dyne cm}^{-1}$ is connected to a block of mass $0.2 \text{ kg}$ kept on a rough horizontal surface of coefficient of friction $0.3$. The other end of the spring is connected to a rigid support as shown in the figure and the spring is initially undeformed. The maximum velocity $v$ that can be given to the block so that it travels only in one direction is . . . . . . $\text{ms}^{-1}$. (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$)
