A 1.50 box moves back and forth on a horizontal frictionless surface between two different springs, as shown in the accompanying figure. The box is initially pressed against the stronger spring, compressing it 4.00 , and then is released from rest. The spring from the right is k=32N.cm and the spring from the left is k=16 N/cm. Please explain how to solve!

By how much will the box compress the weaker spring?= 5.66
What is the maximum speed the box will reach?
