Two identical blocks $A$ and $B$,each of mass $m$,resting on a smooth floor,are connected by a light spring of natural length $L$ and spring constant $K$. The spring is at its natural length. $A$ third identical block $C$ (mass $m$) moving with a speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ collides with $A$. The maximum compression in the spring is:

  • A
    $v\sqrt{\frac{m}{2K}}$
  • B
    $m\sqrt{\frac{v}{2K}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{mv}{K}}$
  • D
    $\frac{mv}{2K}$
