question mark

A light elastic string whose natural length is a has one end fixed point O, and to the other end is attached a weight which in equilibrium would produce an extension e. Show that it the weight be let fall from rest at O, it will come to stay instantaneously at a point √(2ae + e2 ) below the position of equilibrium.

Hello friend , 
Assume the motion as SHM ,for which equilibrium position will be mean position.
And at extreme position it will come to stay for an instant.
Extreme position will be below the equilibrium position by a length equal to amplitude of SHM.
Now , by mechanical energy conservation find the velocity of block at equilibrium position( mean position) which will be equal to AW .
For an extension equal to e , we know that w will be √(g/e).
Velocity at equilibrium will be √2g(a+e) = A √(g/e)
Now by solving the equation we can find value of A which will be the required answer
Thanks and good regards.
