A non-linear spring is attached to a 2-kg mass sitting on a smooth surface as shown. The force exerted by the spring is given by the equation below, where x is in meters, and F is in Newtons. The mass initially compresses the spring 0.1 m and is released from rest. Find the maximum velocity of the mass.
