One end of a slack wire (Young's modulus Y, length L and cross-section area A) is clamped to rigid wall and the other end to a block (mass m) which rests on a smooth horizontal plane. The block is set in motion with a speed `v`. What is the maximum distance the block will travel after the wire becomes taut ?
